Jealousy is somehow part in any relationships. They said that if a person is jealous, it means that he or she loves you. I don't agree with this totally. There might be other reasons why. In a relationship, a little jealous can enhance it but too much of it might spoil things out. Here are things that I do not to be jealous as much as possible: TRUST: I trust him and I believe that he loves me. It's actually obvious and I know him. POSITIVE ATTITUDE: I am looking on the brighter side of things. TALK with him: I talk with him directly when I feel jealous or suspicious. How about you? How do you try not to be jealous?

Every individual get jealous and some don't know why. Thus, Trust is really important in every relationship and that's be growing as day goes by. We know what will happen if jealous reigns. WAR!! hahaha.. :D I do agree communication too is important talking to the problems in your relationship is a great help. Since the two of you established that relationship, the two of you will also goes hand in hand to solve the problems... :)

Being calm is good but sometimes when you heard a not-so-good-thing you find it difficult to control your emotions. It needs a lot of control.

Hi, Everyone has some sort of jealousy about someone who is better than him. But this jealousy should be taken positively and try to improve ourselves. to stop being jealous I think we should stop comparing ourselves with others. We should compare our last performance with existing performance and try to improve. this would lead us towards perfection.

let him be.......it's just normal....but if it's just not a normal dialogue of being jealous then i guess you need to do further effort to explain but he won't believe you then,,,leave it to him...as long as you've done your part explaining and you have a clear conscience then it's up to him to decide...and to stop being jealous.....set her free...well can you do that?

Hi chasecalice, it's so nice of you that you don't get jealous often. As for me, I know deep inside that I am naturally jealous person, so I find it very hard not to be jealous. But thanks anyway, you have given me steps on how to lessen my jealousy :)

I do trust my husband and I rarely get jealous. But whenever pangs of jealousy started to creep on me, I just look back and ask myself why do I need to be insecure, to feel this way about him. It allows me to remember all the things that we've been through together and how a measly thing like this shouldn't ruin my day. If it still persists to bother me, I sit down and have a heart to heart talk with my husband. I let him know that I'm bothered. It's also a sig for him that i just need his re-assurances and if ever he needs to do something about it, he can address it right away. It's also when I learn if my being jealous have grounds, or I'm just simply being a jealous wife.

In order to overcome jealousy,one should attempt to minimize one's wishes and needs. After all it is over ambition which necessitates wants and desires which in turn brood jealousy over others' achievements and gains. All cravings should be nipped and a decision to live according to one;s limitations has to be developed. Then there will be little room for jealousy.

Being jealous, how to say..it is a part of us and it shows that you love that guy also, of course in here i talk about normal jealous, not over jealous. When i am not jealous anymore, it means i don't love anymore, so that don't need to find any way to keep being jealous hidden...
