How do you overcome jealousy?

I was once a victim of that green-eyed monster called jealousy. I know all too well the mixed emotions of hurting, loneliness, insecurity, and all amotions that come along with it. I am happy that now, I've learned to deal with it. What a relief! So how did I do it? I talked to my husband and explained how I was feeling. It was hard at first because he is not a jealous type, so he can't relate very well. But I was just happy that he was receptive enough to listen and understand to my feelings. So the first part is done. The person concerned already knows how I feel, and of course if he cares enough, he wouldn't do things to make me jealous. Then there's the external part. You know, the girls that's around him. I can't control them, let alone talk to them. I can't keep them from calling him or talking to them. It was in this part that I did an emotional "training" to myself. I convinced myself that there's really no need to be jealous of. As long as our relationship is doing okay, we are on the right track. Now, of course he does something bad I think it's a diferent story.

try to be confident in many ways..try some new clothes or hairstyle that would boost yourself. make a difference, smile a lot, read great inspiring books. my opinion of a jealous person is someone who thinks small of themselves..believe that you are special and just too good to be thrown to an undeserving person.hehehe

It helps to let a jealous partner know that he or she can talk to you about his or her feelings; that you will listen to a partner’s fears and anxieties and try to understand where he or she is coming from.

You should overcome your feelings and forget about him. Move on. Fill up your schedule with different activities. Start dating others and FOGRGET ABOUT HIM.
