Jealousy: the green eyed monster. It's an emotion that we all experience at some time in our life. Most times, it's a perfectly natural emotion that passes once it is put into perspective. But if it's allowed to grow and fester, jealousy can become a very destructive animal. An out-of-control, jealous person can not only hurt himself, but his partner too.The key to dealing with jealousy is getting to the root cause of it.Talk about it and settle things in a nice way you can.Do not let your emotions rule over you.

it is not easy to control jealousy. Sometimes the jealousy not only comes from us, but also from our partner. To overcome this monster, we should be able to communicate with our partner about this kind of feelings.
Jealousy comes from the feeling of insecure and inferiority. If our partner could understand this, there should be a win-win solution for both party. Not only us that have to change our attitude, sometimes partners just don't understand that their attitude brings inferiority and insecurity to us.
A relationship is something that should be worked out together. We can't handle things alone, especially jealousy. I can't control it, but my partner and I can. We usually talk about this, and tried to get rid of the main reason why those feelings comes up.

Hi,
Controlling jealousy is a very difficult proposition . To control them, one has to have some inner energy,patience and control .
One needs to feel self-satisfied and let go off the negativities .
Meditation and contemplation, Self-Analysis do work .
