Are All Friendships Okay?

Many would say no.  Why?? Is it that they cause to many problems within relationships?  Could it be that it just is not possible for a man and woman to be just friends?

The most important factor in any relationship it TRUST!  If you do not have that your relationship is doomed.   A lot of the time these friendships could have existed before he or she met you.  If that is the case it is better that you do not say anything being that this friend has been around longer than you and you don’t want to cause any problems between you and your partner especially if you really like them.

We all have friends of the opposite sex to some extent.  We work with them and I am sure you have had a personal conversation with a co-worker of the opposite sex  you may have even went out to lunch before with this person.  Would you consider that as a friend?  Even if this “friendship” is only at the workplace it still is a opposite sex friendship. 

Even though you know were to draw the line and this friendship does not pour over into your personal life.  Remember, “Trust” is a very powerful word and if this friendship that your partner has with their friend is very important to them but bothers you, then try talking to your partner and express to them how this is affecting you and maybe you all can come up with a solution. But do try to be understanding you do not want to break-up a friendship that means hurting your partner.
