How do I deal with a jealous girlfriend?
Post date: 2005-01-24
Jealousy is really just a form of insecurity in a relationship felt by one or both of you, and to be truthful, not all jealousy is that bad. A little jealousy on your girlfriend's part can, in fact, keep her on her toes when it comes to appreciating you and remaining worthy of you. Therefore, you might consider just living with it.
The psychology of love and romance is devised in such a way that passion in a relationship thrives on a little bit of insecurity. Let me add that I actually like it when my wife feels a little jealous (where other women are concerned) because it keeps her appreciation and enjoyment of me on a higher plateau. But if you're really asking, "How do I deal with an excessively jealous girlfriend'" you have to understand that this has more to do with her internal feelings of worthlessness that can only be countered by much patience, reassurance and attention.
If you are prepared to pay the price through the coming years, you can accomplish a lot toward helping her overcome these feelings of insecurity. But if you're not prepared to pay that price, you should consider setting her free now.
