Jealousy in relationships: Overcoming jealousy
How to overcome jealousy in your relationshipWe'd be lying if we said we never got jealous. We'll always be jealous of Angelina Jolie (for multiple reasons) and we can't help but be green with envy when we see some gorgeous girl with the latest limited edition Mulberry.
But in the context of a relationship, jealousy is a more complicated matter than coveting some designer leather. At the very least jealousy in relationships can be annoying, and at worst it can push you apart. Whether you get jealous of your man spending time away from you or he gives you the third degree whenever he sees you talking to another guy, jealousy from either side of the relationship can only be a negative force. But, there are ways of overcoming jealousy in your relationships. Read on for tips from Jules Filsell, eHarmony’s relationship advice expert and beat that green eyed monster. | ||||||||||

We can accept what makes us jealous. I know that my girlfriend is extremely jealous and possessive over me. Luckily im into that, and I just adore her so much that i find it extremely cute, so its not a problem. She doesnt like me around other girls, and thats an easy sacrafice for me. She is really gorgeous and guys tend to hit on her- loads
and that is what makes me get jealous. She knows this and she cares so much that she'll turn them down in a heartbeat. I guess I dont seem jealous, but i really am and the only thing that keeps me sane is my trust for her (and the fact no guy has ever tried her when im around- god help them) and how much i know she's in love with me. It makes me happy knowing any man who tries to make a move on my girl will never ever have a chance in hell.
So, i think jealousy boils down to trust when in a relationship. And make sure you voice your concerns with your partner, cause that is what trust is all about.
