Jealousy

Jealousy, most of us feel it at some time or other. Some people experience it more strongly than others and some even let jealousy consume them. Sometimes the feeling is justified and at other times it isn’t. It’s an ugly emotion, both for the one feeling it and for the person at the other end.

For most of us, jealousy isn’t as all consuming as that, however, many of us do have moments when we feel out of control. You say something to your partner that you know is unjustified, but you just can’t help yourself. If your partner has cheated on you, these feelings can intensify and it is possible that you will never trust the person again. Along with that comes jealousy. Sometimes it helps to have a plan of action in this situation. Figure out what you will do if your partner does it again, let your partner know what you will do, and if it happens, do it. Once you have made a firm decision on the consequences and are done vacillating between should I stay or should I go, it is sometimes possible for the relationship to continue normally. That is assuming that the other person is not going to cheat again and you are determined to let it go and not open old wounds every time you argue.
