i am obsessed with the notion that my partner is occasionally in touch with working girls but hides it so I wont spin out. Have tried ignoring the jealousy within. Have told myself over and over to believe every word he tells me because I believe he loves me. But everytime i relax into being with him and only concentrating on present something sets me off.Thought if i worked close to or within industry it would help to confirm he is or not. sick of living with doubts or the feeling that people around you know something relating to self personally. my partner has had it and has told me if I dont stop accusing and investigating then he will walk. I am so sick of myself I would appreciate any good ideas to stop me wreaking my relationship!!!!!

let me give you someadvice that help me when I got jealous. If he is not looking then you have to worry about this coming from people married for years. Mabey if you don't get so upset when he tells you he went he will be honest with you. or you could always tell him I don't care where you get your apitite as long as you eat at home.

Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. The word jealousy stems from the French jalousie, formed from jaloux (jealous), and further from Low Latin zelosus (full of zeal), and from the Greek word for "ardour, zeal" (with a root connoting "to boil, ferment"; or "yeast"). Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been reported in every culture and in many forms where researchers have looked. [1] [2] [3] It has been observed in infants as young as 5-6 months old and in adults over 65 years old. [4] [5] [6] [7] It has been an enduring topic of interest for scientists, artists, and theologians. Psychologists have proposed several models of the processes underlying jealousy and have identified individual differences that influence the expression of jealousy. Sociologists have demonstrated that cultural beliefs and values play an important role in determining what triggers jealousy and what constitutes socially acceptable expressions of jealousy. Biologists have identified factors that may unconsciously influence the expression of jealousy. Artists have explored the theme of jealousy in photographs, paintings, movies, songs, plays, poems, and books. Theologians have offered religious views of jealousy based on the scriptures of their respective faiths. Despite its familiarity, however, people define jealousy in different ways. Some even mislabel it as being protective of something or someone, when the fact is, it's really simply possessive jealousy itself; and many feel they don't possess effective strategies for coping with this form of jealousy.

If you just think he is occassionally seeing 'working girls' and are jealous on that basis, how will you feel if you find out that he actually is seeing them. Either you trust him or you don't is basically what it comes down to and if you cannot trust him then it is time to get out of the relationship.

Has he ever done anything to lose your trust? If not, then you need to truely stop accusing him. Relationships are based on trust, with no trust then how can you even have a relationship at all. I would advise you to sit down and talk to him and let him know how you feel. Relationships are also based on communication. So he should know how you are feeling and what your thoughts are. If you continue down the road of not just talking to him and keep on accusing him, then eventually he may just walk out on you or just do it.
