Why is Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend Jealous?
If your boyfriend or girlfriend is a really jealous person then you might need to read this article to get some advice on jealousy issues.
The biggest problem in the world of relationships today is jealousy and it is not an issue with just the men. Women are equally jealous and the possessiveness easily deprives these men and women of the love, respect and ultimately the relationship altogether.
The reason for anybody in a happy and satisfying relationship to begin getting possessive and being jealous of the partner to such extremes that it becomes the beginning of the end of the relationship is manifold. A lack of self-respect, self-belief and self-confidence often leaves the person wondering if the relationship is for real; sadly, they cannot come to terms with the fact that somebody could love them and care for them without a motive. These feelings allow jealousy to creep in every time the partner is out with his or her friends or colleagues.
Though a jealous girlfriend or boyfriend is a common occurrence in relationships, there is no way of knowing whether the person you are dating is too possessive for comfort. He is the perfect guy right now, with the world at his feet and all the attention and caring showered on you. Even though their women live with them and share the ‘I love you’ throughout the day, the jealous partner is difficult to understand. For a jealous girlfriend or boyfriend, the low self-esteem makes them think they do not deserve to be with you; and are planning to desert them at the drop of a hat. Now you can probably think of the times your girlfriend could not come out for a drink with you after work because her husband picks her up at work at sharp 5 pm every evening. She may have to ask his permission if she wants to go out and even then he will be sulky and suspicious of her running away and never coming back if she is late by as much as 5 minutes.
The trouble arises when the person in love with you shows symptoms which may need medical help. Jealousy and possessiveness are a part of the early months and years of a budding romantic relationship, however with time and continued commitment to each other, these feelings should fade away. If they persist or even get worse, where the partner tries to isolate you from your social gatherings and save you just for themselves is when you must rethink the relationship. If you allow to yourself to be isolated, you may soon find yourself dependent on the partner and fearful of leaving him or her for lack of friends. This brings your self-esteem low too and you may ape your partners’ possessiveness very soon. Take action with a jealous girlfriend or boyfriend before it is too late and if you really intend to save your relationship.
