What’s Jealousy Got to Do With it? [05:35]
Jealous stems from somewhere internal, from a place of insecurity. And that could either be because of some type of dysfunction in your childhood or because you went through a bad experience in a romantic relationship. Either way, to understand the feeling itself, you need to look at yourself and ask the right questions.
It doesn’t necessarily have to always be that it was a cheating incident. I felt like I was insecure and jealous before that ever happened.
Make Room for Accountability [14:49]
While it may be difficult to do so in certain situations, it’s important to take responsibility rather than blame your partner straight away. Self-awareness is key.
You cannot change something that is blocking you, unless you really take a look at what you think, do, and say.
Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries [21:10]
Before getting into a relationship, it’s important to have an open and honest conversation about boundaries, particularly those regarding interactions with exes. It allows both partners to understand each other’s expectations.
Have that conversation to figure out what that relationship is like beforehand and then you make the decision if that’s a relationship you want to be in.
