Meaning of "have someone doing something"
Hi,
This sentence drew my attention: "Now you have him not trusting me?"
I think it means "Now you convinced him not to trust me?"
Could you tell me if I have an understanding of its meaning. Or, in case I'm off base, please, give me your own explanation of what it means.
Also, can I say "I won't have you not trusting me" ?
If the answer is yes, then does it mean that "I won't put up with your distrust of me" ?
Thanks for your assistance !

Yes,that's the meaning, or more generally 'you have caused him (in some way) not to trust me'. Your sentence is OK, too, with the meaning you suggest.
