    Why Can't I Trust My Partner?

    I knew how important trust was in a relationship, but until I met Rachel it hadn’t really been an issue for me. Rachel was the most attractive woman I had been involved with and I soon became aware of her ability to turn a man’s head. What I didn’t expect was how the attentions of other men would play on my feelings and start to affect our relationship.We had been seeing each other for about a year and Rachel had given me no excuse to doubt her good intentions. Yet as soon as we went out for a night on the town or if Rachel went out with her friends, all my doubts and insecurities kicked in.

    Is Rachel attracted to other men? Can I trust her to do the right thing if another man expresses interest? Would she be open with me if she was attracted to other men? Am I entertaining, sensitive and assertive or is Rachel just filling in time until Mr. Right comes along? These were some of the questions that flew through my mind.Every relationship has trust issues. Stop worrying, have some self-confidence, man up, I told myself! Yet still my doubts persisted.

    I knew I wanted a real future with Rachel. This future would involve a more serious commitment, sharing not just our innermost thoughts and feelings, but also practical and financial issues. I realized that trust issues are at the core of most, if not all, long-lasting relationships and the sooner I rooted out what my problem was, the better for us both.

    I spoke with a close friend, who suggested I contact a psychic for advice and guidance. Initially I was skeptical. I thought if I don’t trust my partner, why should I trust a psychic! However, I overcame my cynicism and now feel it was a good decision that has continued to play a part in my life to this day.
    When I spoke with the psychic I’ll admit I was surprised by her common sense and professionalism. I had expected to hear empty new age ideas, or far-fetched predictions about the future of my relationship with Rachel. I heard nothing of the kind and was grateful when the psychic seemed to understand and outline my thoughts and feelings with regard to my partner.

    Over the course of the session the psychic helped to articulate some of the inner conflict and doubts I was having and I realized these were not just the product of an over active imagination. She assured me that whatever insecurities I was experiencing were perfectly natural and not uncommon for people who want to have serious relationships.
