Jealousy is one of the most common reasons for all kinds of problems, arguments and fighting in a relationship. There is much more to the issue of jealousy than just that – being jealous. Jealousy also involves issues of both trusting the other person to be loyal and faithful to you, while also having the confidence and self esteem – that you are worth being faithful and loyal to. Overcoming and abandoning jealousy is absolutely critical to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship, as you can’t possible be happy or make your partner happy if either of you has jealousy issues. Of course, I am not talking about the healthy dose of jealousy which flatters and makes you feel like you are being loved. I am talking about the obsessive kind of jealousy that causes unnecessary fights and break-ups.

Dear All, I have just started dating a boy for several months now with whome i am extremly in love and happy..i am scared though of one thing and strongly want to avoid an unhealthy relationship…I know that his ex left him because he was too jealous and controlling of her but i aslo know that she was an attention craver and flirty….things is he went through her emails, her computer wouldn t let her speak to her x’s and was apparently extremely exclusif and controling with her …worst part he amditted he was the one cheating on her… so my concern right now is not to fall in this same pattern but can people actually change??? or do they want to change to make it happen…and last but not least but a person with such a behavior for me is defently someone that doesn’t truly love…but has issues…
what should i do ? wait and see if he will be different to me or run quick before i see the ugly side come out
