Jealousy in relationships

[Starburst..x]

I used to get jealous of other girls being around my ex, it's a natural thing to do (to a certain extent) but is also such an awful feeling.

I read somewhere about how to help try and control it, and I just tried to find it for you as it was really useful and helped to explain why you did it rather than how to curb it, but I cant find it anywhere
Basically it was just saying how this jealousy is often built from a low self esteem. If you don't feel confident within yourself (ie having thoughts such as "Why is he with me? there's so many other pretty girls") then your own self doubt will be reflected onto your boyfriend making you feel like there's chance you could lose him.

I did this all the time, my ex knew quite a few girls and a certain few had no shame in openly flirting with him especially in front of me, as though to try and get a reaction (why do girls feel the need to do this? it's so low) Im not exactly the most confident person, and it started to make me resentful. But the thing is you've got to try and get into you head that if these girls were that special, then surely he would of picked them?

I know thats easier said than done as jealously is such a strong feeling, but it's needs to be controlled or it can start to cause resentment.

My girlfriend the now can get insanely jealous because I have so many female friends. What she needs to realise is that she doesn't have to be jealous, she's my girlfriend, not any of the other ones.

Sometimes they (usually the female) has a right to get jealous, because a lot of the times the guy's trying to bite off more than he can chew!

Ohhhh what as if girls aren't just as bad? Such stereotypes simply aren't true these days.


tbh I don't so much get jealous as just bemused like why would they wanna be with someone else when there's me around :S genuine thought pattern there loving it loving me etc

I always get jealous :rolleyes:
I don't mean to and I hate how I do but like I'm usually always scared that I'm going to lose that person to someone else and because they mean alot to me, I don't want that to ever happen.
