Yes, the green-eyed monster can be in any of us. It could be lurking in the corner, it could be staring us down the nose. For a healthy relationship, you have to tackle this monster by the head. How do you do that? These simple steps might help. Answer a question first – what is that in your partner that you are jealous about? Is partner not giving you enough time? Are you feeling like a neglected piece of furniture? Once you have pinned down the cause for your jealousy, you can address the issue accordingly. If you feel that your partner is the one to blame (you have to be strictly objective in deciding this) talk it out with your partner. Sit down and have a calm, reasonable discussion. Lay bare your mind so that it is easier for your Significant Other to understand what is going on.

Be confident of what you are. If your partner is really fond of this happy-go-lucky person, and you are polar opposite, don’t try to be what you are not. Play to your strength and stand out. There are many qualities you have that your partner doesn’t know of. Bring them out and make the person fall in love with you again. If you are sure of yourself and what importance you hold in the life of your partner, you can never fall short of confidence. Make it clear to your partner that is acceptable and what is not. Be logical. If you expect your partner not to talk to any member of the opposite sex, that’s a ridiculous hope to make. Channel the negativity into a strong bond of trust that will do wonders for your relationship. It’s not hard if you work at it. Try it.
