In order to overcome jealousy, you've got to figure out whether you're being real or being paranoid. Normal jealousy can actually serve a purpose. It's there to alert you to a partner's possible infidelity -- a threat to the relationship.

You can't overcome jealousy :)Even if you try all sorts of exercises and mind-games, that "special" feeling will always be there to haunt you.

Right you are! Isn't it funny how often Jealousy eventually turns to poisonous Possessivness? Nothing good comes of it. I am glad i have learned to over come it! I have a BFF that is in that situation right now,. She can't go anywhere without her Hubby knowing about it. Just the other day when we were going to do some early Xmas shopping, she asked if he minded she go? His response was , yeah okay you should be done in about two hours! then he called her every half hour to ask what she was doing!

Jealousy can be a self fulfilling profecy. I knew a guy once who was so insanely jealous that he would let his wife do ANYTHING without him. Sure enough, jelousy had turned to posessiveness and sure enough, she left him.

First of, lets understand that jealousy is a very negative emotion. I was insanely jealous in the past, but I've grown up.My girlfriend came into work one day and afterward a coworker came to me and said "Um, er If you don't mind me saying so...Your girlfriend is really attractive." I said," Thanks. I know." and asked "Why would I mind you saying that?"And there it is. I had no reason to be jealous. I needn't be hurt by my girlfriend getting attention. Now if my girlfriend gave someone HER attention, well, thats another issue.

Your absolutely right! Jealousy is normal part of a relationship, and it can have severe consequences if you let it get out of hand.I had this relationship once, where I was so consumed with jealousy, that I would wake up at 2am in the morning because I knew it was time for the bars to close and I would drive around to all of them just to make sure my BF wasn't at one of them!Well that was Not a match made in heaven! He dumped me a few months later because i was to "clingy". I learned my lesson!Now I am of the opinion, I'm not going to waste my life on someone I can't trust. If they screw up, It's there loss! But I sleep great at night now because of it!

Jealousy is normal especially if you really in love with the person. But it can also be worse when you're too jelous and turns to possesiveness. This is a great hub, keep it up!

Learning to trust IS the most dangerous thing with do with each other! It is because of that we have so much vunerability. Learning from our mistakes can make a huge difference and help us to recognize the signs of impending danger in the future. I couldn't agree more that trust is the foundation for which we learn not to fear, but i also think it helps us to see things alot more clearly!

Learning to trust and having patience are quality lifestyle changes I have been living my life with now. It is calming and peaceful to know that we all can see danger signs before someone actually cheats. Recognize the signs and take action, and relationships will always benefit. Trust will then be our foundation and not our fear.

A great post with a lot of good advice. Being in a relationship where I've had to re-gain trust has left a lot of doors wide open for the jeaousy monster to creep in, and it has. It is a powerful emotion, and learning to control it really ties in with the state of the relationship you are in. A lot of quality communication with your partner is key to dealing with the emotion. Thank you!

I agree with you that jealousy is not a very useful emotion. Very good tips on how to beat down the jealousy demons. I think it is important not to define ourselves in terms of others, including our life partners. We should try to be in control of our own self-esteem, and not put it in the hands of others. That is what jealousy does, and in the end, we will be the loser.Very good hub!

Jealousy ruins relationships, there is no doubt about that, but jealousy is part of human nature- so we can't win!

This buddy of mine had a hot girlfriend who was cheating on him and he was allways jealous, i told him one day if he had lightened up a bit, things might have turned out differently. I reallly think if you let things get out of hand you can make your worse fears come true.
