How to Control Jealousy

Advice about how to manage jealousy, control your possessive tendencies and tame romantic envy.

>

Trust Your Instincts
There are, of course, instances where jealousy is serving its purpose, and telling you that your relationship is in danger. When my ex-girlfriend started bringing this college girl around all the time, I felt very uneasy. My gut told me she was interested in the youngin'. My gf cheated on me with college gal a few weeks later and we did not have a cheating survival plan in effect. Of course, usually there are other things off about the relationship in a situation like this, but you get my point. Don't be afraid to trust yourself.

Follow the steps above and you'll have your jealousy in check in no time! At the very least you'll start to understand that jealousy is manageable; envy and possessiveness do not have to rule your life.

I think the only person who can answer that is your boyfriend.

I have a problem with the second one. My best friend hates my boyfriend, so she's never really helpful at giving me a reality check, and usually makes it worse.
