When I grew up, my mother was very competitive and extremely jealous of her own daughters. She used to even get mad when our own father would hug us girls, so dad would make the hugs "hurt" so mom wouldn't be jealous. Unfortunately, I have picked up the green eyed monster. If my ex-husband even looked in the direction of a pretty woman, I'd go ballistic. Now I am divorced, for other reasons, and I am carrying on the habit with my now boyfriend. I even slapped him acrossed the face when I accused him of being unfaithful because of my irrational jealousy. I was wondering if anyone out there has run across similar situations, and what was the best way that they got over their jealous feelings. I know in my head that jealousy really serves no purpose, and in fact can chase away the very person you are trying to desperately hold on to. If anyone has any good suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
