Jealousy is the kind of emotional disease that strikes both sexes. Even though it’s a horribly negative behavior, it is unfortunately, very common. Most times, jealousy is an emotional reaction based on selfishness, fear, and insecurity. A jealous person imagines their bf/gf could leave at any time, and the thought of that scares them to death and can leave them almost emotionally irrational. Additionally, jealously can reveal a lack of trust someone has in you and your relationship with him or her. Sometimes they’re just making it all up in their head. But at other times, you might be overstepping your boundaries of what’s appropriate with someone of the opposite sex who you’re not dating. Either way, jealousy is toxic poison to a relationship. A relationship infected with jealousy will soon sour and self-destruct. Remember, it’s your choice to feel jealous.

      A jealous relationship must be worked through or it will create chaos.

     On the other hand, you can do your part to not give your bf/gf reasons to feel jealous. If someone else is flirting with you, you can still be polite, but you don’t have to flirt back. You don’t have to make special efforts to impress other people of the opposite sex. But if your bf/gf does react jealously to something you do, decide to address it soon after it happens. It’s always good to seek clarity when something comes up that’s a threat to your relationship. And most importantly, make sure your bf/gf knows how much they mean to you. Give them reason to trust you when you’re alone. Then when you’re around other people, they won’t need to worry if they can trust you or not. Just remember, a jealous relationship must be worked through or it will create chaos in the relationship with your bf/gf.
