how do you combat a jealousy problem?

Answer 1

rope and gun

Answer 2

if it's your own jealousy, think about why you are feeling that way. if it's because of things that happened in the past, and not at all related to the person you're with, then you should seek counseling and work through your issues. if it's based on something the person you're with has done in the past, then you need to figure out if that's going to happen again or not--and act on it. If you seriously think the person will do it again, drop them like a hot potato. If you believe that they won't, then maybe counseling is a good idea for that too if you can't get over it.
if the other person is being jealous, you should lay out the same options to them. either deal with their issues, get over it, or move on. Jealousy is a horrible cancer in relationships. Have you ever heard the old Elvis song "Suspicious Minds"? it just makes a miserable relationship and tears the two of you apart, as well as tearing you up inside.
deal with it or move on.

Answer 3

you don't...you are jealous for a reason, whatever the reason it needs to be resolved. Not suppressing your feelings. Society these days does not want to deal with emotions and the problems that cause them, most people feel like they are just sick or "imbalanced" take some pills and hope for the best. It doesn't work, If your boyfriend is flirting with someone else and you get jealous...he says you are overreacting, so then you feel like you are, now you see the way you feel as the problem not the horny boyfriend...(example) The point is you need to figure out who or what you are jealous about..even if it's new clothes, someones life...you can set the wheels in motion not really to become them but to better your life so you are more secure within your own existence.

Answer 4

the first thing is to identify you're problem. What has your partner done (whether its in the past or present, just about anything can trigger a downward spiral of insecurity or mistrust).. I still get annoyed that my guy had a lap dance at a strip club 2 years ago! lol! i feel pathetic and hate mself for being so petty, but i really can't help it.. i worry he may compare me with the "gorgeous girlie" he drooled over..
Anywho, communication is key in any sense in a relationship. If you are very close to your partner, they should be able to realise when you're upset (read the vibes) and ask you whats wrong. You should feel totally relaxed and able to tell your partner how you feel, without a fear of them accusing you of overreacting or being silly. It takes two to tango, and resolve your concerns.

remember - Communication. a close, open and honest relationship with you're partner may help reassure you. I know its helped our relationship no end :-)

Answer 5

It all depends on what/who/how/where is jealous? If it's a boyfriend, you, or his social upbringing is causing his insecurity, become his shrink or Kick him out and have him realise that he was right about the bi..tch. I have the most jealous girlfriend in the world, it's because she fears loosing me, she loves me and i love her jealousy. If you are not trying to shag other men or have the attention that all women crave, then you have nothing to worry about. Make you partner feel secure and they will trust you.

Answer 6

Dress him up in a fur coat.Take him to the Vets and have him castrated.It worked on me. Now I have nothing to lead me astray with. The only problem is I am jealous now and my eyes won't stop watering.

Answer 7

Answer 8

yours or your partners ?

if its going to happen its as inevitable as death no-one can avoid it .
a person has to accept that the only way they can be sure to avoid feeling jealous is to remain alone .

take this attitude and in time if your partner proves faithful you'll come to enjoy the fact that others find them attractive because you know that you've got what they can't have .

Answer 9

If it is borne out of love then through compromise.

Talk it through, understand the reasons then person who is jealous has to ease up whilst person who makes them jealous has to ensure that they dont do anything unnecessary to cause it and that they try and understand.

if no compromise is reached, and it is not ok to put up with it then the relationship has to end.
