Understanding and Overcoming Jealousy in Relationships

Jealousy in relationships can stem from past betrayal or a chronic feeling of unworthiness, which can be rooted in early experiences. It's important to reframe jealousy by focusing on what your partner values in the relationship, rather than comparing oneself to others. Choosing a partner who values building a life with you, the history you share, and the comfort they feel around you can help overcome feelings of jealousy and insecurity. It's normal for partners to find other people attractive, and it's an unreasonable ask to expect them not to. Trust in the relationship is crucial, as knowing they value the relationship and being able to trust them can help in managing jealousy. Focusing on the relationship and feeling safe can significantly reduce jealousy in a relationship.
