you have to search your feelings to try and find out the underlying cause of your jealousy.

When your partner looks at another, do you feel that you're going to lose him/her?

Do you believe that he's devoting too much time to another instead of you?

When you ask yourself these questions, you will be able to determine the intensity of your jealousy,

and realize that if you're behaving irrationally,

then the problem might lie with you.

Overcoming jealousy requires finding a way to build your confidence without looking to others for comparison.

Self-hypnosis can teach you how to erase the negative thoughts about yourself that lead to negative behavior.

Talking to your partner about your apprehensions may also help.

You may set some rules on behavior at the onset of the relationship and commit to them.

This will establish the foundation for trust between the two of you if at any time.

One of you makes a mistake, keep the communication lines open,

keep an open mind and discuss the situation.

Trust will develop and flourish as the relationship grows.

You also have to learn to control your emotions and confront your fears and suspicions in a rational manner.

Remember, that jealousy can affect everyone.

You have to value the effort: you and your partner have both put into your relationship.

There may be a chance that your assumptions may be baseless.

You wouldn't want to ruin a good relationship if you let your jealousy control you.
