Some people really do have platonic friendships, which last all throughout their life. These are really special friendships for people who have known each other since they were small children; they might even have gone to the same kindergarten school. So now that we have established that platonic friendships really does exist, it's time to move on to the other part of the topic of whether you can trust your partner to have platonic friendships with other women. Well it really depends on who the woman in question might be to him, whether it is an old school friend, or maybe an ex sister in law, there will be different answers for different individuals.
Generally speaking no one should trust their partner to have a platonic relationship with other women unless of course it was his mother or sisters, because after all he is only a human being with feelings and these feelings can get mixed up when you are in close contact with someone on a regular basis. When people are together a lot they usually form a bond just like a friendship, but sometimes things can get out of hand and the feelings start changing and you begin to look at the other person in a more romantic way, because of the close contact that you share on a regular basis. The office relationships which usually develop because of the regular close contact are a good example of how these affairs usually come about.
No woman in her right mind would allow her partner to go out to dinner three times a week with another woman and assume that it was just a platonic relationship, so how do you determine what is a platonic relationship and whether it is ok for your partner to have such a relationship with another woman, well the answer to that would be you can never be sure. You can try paying close attention to the way your partner acts around the other woman and this might give you some insight as to whether it is just a platonic relationship or something more, although you will never be able to truly tell because after all he might just be putting on an act for your benefit.
So the question is still left unanswered, as to whether you can trust your partner to have a platonic relationship with other women, because there is really no yes or no answer. You will have to judge for yourself depending on the other woman, but the one person you should never trust your partner to have a platonic relationship with is your best friend. Best friends are a no, no in this particular case, because they are usually the ones who are the cause of your breakups or the one that your partner usually ends up with, in the event that your relationship has broken up. Kind of a harsh statement I know, but it's a reality!

Jealousy-A Success Story!
The thing that I like the most about Hypnotherapy and Self Hypnosis is that it just makes it so much easier and much more possible to achieve your goals and your dreams. But today’s article isn’t about the effectiveness of Hypnosis and I am not going to go in to the detail of how it works, however I want to tell you a story about a client that came to see me sometime ago for a problem with Jealousy. For the sake of the article we will refer to her as, Sara.
The first thing that I remember from Sara was the call that she made into the office. She originally called to get some more information on coming to see me for private one to one sessions. I filled her in and told her about the sessions and the potential cost of treatment.
A few weeks later Sara came for her first appointment. When she walked into my treatment room, it was plain to see that Sara had big problems with her confidence and insecurities. During the first session she explained how everything was and just how badly her jealousy was affecting her and how it was tearing apart her relationship with her boyfriend. Because I didn’t want to leave Sara upset after telling me about all of the negative things going on, I decided to use Emotional Freedom Technique, which is a fast acting technique to help people just like Sara.
After a week Sara was back at my office for her second session. She reported that the EFT that I had taught her the week previous had worked wonders. She told me of how she went the whole two days after the session not feeling negative or jealous at all.
At this point I decided to teach Sara Self Hypnosis as I wanted her to use it side by side with the EFT that I had already taught her. While she was in Hypnosis I gave her loads of suggestions which were specific to the situation that she was in. We then set another appointment for two weeks later.
Well two weeks flew by for Sara and when she walked back into my office on that third session it was like seeing a new person. She reported to me that she had had a fantastic two weeks and both her and her partner felt that their relationship was going through the ‘Honeymoon’ period again!
After that third session I never saw Sara again, however every so often I get a phone call or a little note in the post to thank me and to update me on her continued progress and success.

Marriage And Divorce - Is Combating Unavoidable?
Marriage and divorce don't go very well together. On the other hand, a divorce doesn't necessarily mean that a couple have to be enemies. We are used to expect that a divorce must end bitterly and seemingly look for reasons to have a bitter divorce. However, this doesn't need to be the case at all. If you or someone you know is going through a divorce, it is hard enough to handle the pain of the separation, why make it more painful than it needs to be?
Divorcing your spouse doesn't have to be a time of bliss but it doesn't have to be a bitter combat either. While it may be tough to see what you ever found appealing about your spouse, remember at one time there was love. Although love may have evolved into discontentment, you have no reason to try to make a painful situation worse than it needs to be. You can go through a divorce without severe pain if you can remember to take into consideration the other person's feelings.
Try to think of ways to make the divorce as gently and friendly as possible. If you have children, invite your spouse over for dinner and have a meal together as a family unit. If your children are involved in sports, still sit together at sporting events and maintain a connection of sports for the sake of your common children.
Divorce is never easy but mature adults with a good mental balance can maintain a lifetime friendship even after the demise of the marriage. After all, with or without children from your marriage, you will always have some sort of connection to one another.
If you have in-laws that you are particularly fond of, try to maintain the friendship and love that you have with your spouse's family. If you were close to members of his or her family, you can still keep them close to your heart, but know when to back away. When the time comes and your ex chooses to take another significant other home to meet the family, respectfully accept your new position as the ex.
The flip side of the in-law coin is of course true relief if you didn't get along with your spouse's family. If you had a controlling father or monster in-law then there is no reason for you to feel like you have to continue that relationship with your ex-spouse's family. As a matter of fact, if you have children, it is perfectly OK to cut all ties with the in-laws and respectfully ask the court to mandate that the ex-spouse be responsible for all connections to his or her family where the children are involved.
If your spouse is particularly hurt by the divorce which you initiated, an advice could be to take your time to call and check on them from time to time. You can do that without leading them into false hope. Especially if you initiated the divorce, never sabotage a brewing new relationship your ex may have started. A new love interest may stir unexpected feelings which are strong and even uncontrollable, such as jealousy, hate and rage. However, you should always remember the reasons you chose to divorce and focus clearly on them.
