Jealousy can be a major reason for an unhappy relationship filled with contempt and hate. We all experience jealousy at one time or another, even within the nuclear family and especially in our love life. Jealousy can end a relationship before it starts if not handled properly.
Jealousy can lead to an unpleasant experience for the chronically jealous partner who often misinterprets innocent actions. Avoid negative thoughts and doubts unless you don’t trust your relationship or just don’t trust your partner.
Learn to be disciplined enough to deal with jealousy maturely by following these steps for dealing with your jealous partner.
one. Self-examination: Why do you often get jealous? You need to identify the cause that triggers your jealous attitude so that you can deal with it effectively. Think of a past scenario and examine what, if, and why.
2. Emotional Outburst: Are you short-tempered or do you just suppress your emotions? Do you read meanings into every action and save them for doomsday?
You need to learn to manage your emotions to avoid unnecessary suspicion. Communication is the keyword no matter how difficult the problem. Talk like mature adults and not like overgrown babies.
3. Do not assume: Asunción could carry the red label that activates gunpowder. Get all the information you need before you kick up the dust. The ability to conduct research and find out why your partner took certain actions and decisions would help determine if your jealousy is justified or unfounded.
Four. Forget your ego: We all have an ego that can rear its ugly head at times, but you need to make sure you don’t allow your ego to cloud your sense of reasoning. Your partner may express an innocent appreciation for the opposite sex or for a more successful friend or friend. Don’t feel discouraged, have confidence in yourself and walk upright, don’t slouch.
5. Do not create an avenue for suspicion: Avoid cozy chats with the opposite sex, especially when your spouse or partner is with you, it is a telltale sign and shows a lack of respect for the relationship in question.
Be careful with text messages that can improve your relationship.
Avoid the telltale signs that can give you away and make your tongue twist like lipstick smudges, love notes in your jacket or wallet, hotel bills for a weekend getaway, sexy gifts, and many more.
6. Communication: Essentially, the key to a jealousy-free relationship is communication. Put your cards on the table and avoid discreet matters. Communication is the main driving force in any relationship. Talk about anything and everything. Avoid maintaining “criminal silence” (as my husband coined it) on any suspicious matter. You may only be making the situation worse. Above all, both partners need to be reasonable when dealing with jealousy issues or any family issues. Leave no room for rumormongers.
food for thought
Always remember that jealousy can be healthy in a relationship if handled properly and can be a waste of precious moments if not handled correctly.
It’s okay to let emotions run wild once in a while, but wouldn’t you rather savor a fun-filled relationship than look over each other’s shoulders for tell-tale signs?
Just learn to appreciate and respect each other and you will be on your way to a happy relationship.
