The green eyed monster

Any idea of how to overcome jealousy. Relationship orientated.

[gammaray]

unfortunately jealousy is borne out of feelings of low self estime. If you can overcome this and be more confident, relationship wise, you should feel less threatened, more secure and therefore less jealous.

Just keep thinking in your head, they can look all they want but at the end of the day its me they are with :-)

Trust. You have to learn to trust others. It doesn't mean to say that somebody looks at others they fancy them. If your partner feels trusted he/she'll feel good with you..

Gammaray- I could not have put it more simply. Thats the bottom line for jealousy! Well said.

There is nothing more unatrractive in someone than jealousy, or signs of jealousy. If trust is an issue in a relationship then i would look at any underlying problems which could be the root of any problems. As gammaray quite rightly says low self esteem is a common reason. People need to look at the good things about themselves and stop comparing themselves to others around them. Hope this helps x

I agree with lafrancaise I think it is more about trust that low self-esteem.

Is there some reason that you don't trust your partner atolhurst?

I used to very jealous with my last boyfriend. I think neither of us trusted the other. Now I have met the right person, everything is fine. Though I will admit to the odd relapse!
