Jealousy can be a relationship killer.

When we are jealous, essentially we are worried that our partner is attracted to someone else. That feeling evokes fear that we may be rejected or abandoned. Therefore, jealousy becomes a coping mechanism by which people protect themselves from being hurt.

Unfortunately, when these fears aren't grounded in truth, the result can be anger, hurt and/or confusion from one or both partners. Once it gets out of hand, jealousy has a way of destroying a perfectly healthy relationship. In this blog, I would like to personally address my response to the man who is struggling with jealousy.

The first question I would ask you is, “Do you trust your partner?” If the answer is yes, you have to have faith that she loves you enough to not betray your relationship. Not surprisingly, research shows that trusting your partner has their best interests at heart is one of the most important and highly valued qualities in romantic relationships.

You cannot demand trust in a relationship. Rather, trust is a choice that two people make. If you're jealous, perhaps a part of you is lacking trust in your partner. If this is the case, I encourage you to look within yourself and figure out why you feel this way.

Oftentimes, jealousy stems from feelings of insecurity.

If you are secure in yourself, you won't feel threatened by other men talking to your girlfriend. My fiancée has men approach and hit on her all of the time, both online and in-person.

However, I am not threatened in any way because I know who she is as a person and I'm secure in our relationship. More importantly, I'm confident and secure within myself. I'm a big fan of the Buddhist principle of non-attachment. If Tatiana would be happier with someone else, then who am I to stop her?

Yes, it would hurt me and I would be sad. However, I would never want to sacrifice her happiness if it meant that she would be settling with me. That is the true definition of higher consciousness love.

If you are jealous, I encourage you to go inward and ask yourself if you have yet to deal with emotional pain from your past relationships. Or maybe your partner broke your trust in some way. If this is the case, both of you have to decide if you are willing to do the work to rebuild that trust together. 

This is how to stop being jealous in a relationship.

It's okay to feel jealous, but don't allow it to sabotage the love that you share with your partner. If you are prone to experiencing intense jealousy, the best thing that you can do is openly communicate your insecurities to your partner in a calm and loving way.

More importantly, commit to getting to the core of where your jealousy comes from and do the work to eliminate destructive emotional reactions altogether. If you can do this, your relationship will flourish. Even better, you will feel more secure in yourself. There is no greater gift that you can give to yourself.

Are you ready to overcome jealousy once and for all?
