Asking For A Friend 👫| 'If your jealousy becomes all-consuming, and every conversation – or glance – your partner shares with another person makes your blood boil, you need to take a step back.'
A little bit of jealousy in a relationship is perfectly normal.
‘We associate problems with jealousy as stemming from internal insecurities, such as low self-esteem and fears of rejection,’ Gemma tells Metro.co.uk. ‘Because the dynamics of relationships are always evolving, and the context of our life changes, spikes of jealousy can happen at any time in a relationship,’ says Gemma.
Essentially, this means that someone feeling extreme jealousy is likely on heightened alert for feeling not good enough, or others gaining their partner’s attention, and might be interpreting information in a confirmatory way.If your jealousy becomes all-consuming, and every conversation – or glance – your partner shares with another person makes your blood boil, you need to take a step back.
‘Similarly, when jealousy leads to a lack of trust, the testing, questioning and hypervigilance that comes with that can make a partner feel unfairly treated, leading to anger and resentment.’If you’re at a place where you know your jealousy is a tad excessive and you want to change it, that can only be a good thing. Self-awareness is always the first step.
‘This might be a time to take stock of where you are at with yourself and in your relationship,’ says Gemma.‘If so, focus on rebuilding your worth and relationship connection before you resort to anger, attack and control.’
