Dealing with a jealous partner is never an easy situation.
It can be frustrating, worrisome and sometimes frightening when you are the object of someone's jealous rage.
Sadly both partners suffer greatly when jealousy enters a relationship.
Mistakes are made by everyone, in all relationships and no one deserves to be treated disrespectfully by a jealous partner.
Although many relationships go though some sort of jealousy if it is not addressed early it can get out of control and end up reining the relationship.
A marriage/relationship is a two way street and whether it is your fault or not you should keep in mind what you want and what you can do to help your spouse feel more secure in your relationship.
Jealousy is a complicated issue but if you want to resolve it you first might want to take a close look at yourself and anything you might be doing regardless of the innocence of your intentions that might be invoking your spouse's jealousy.
Perhaps unintentionally you are doing something that has a seductive or provocative appearance.
Here is a short list of some of the most common behaviours that can invoke jealousy in a partner.
You should always consider you partners needs carefully so you can identify the behaviours that are troubling your partner.
Even if you are certain, beyond the shadow of a doubt that you would never cheat on your spouse, behaviours such as those listed above can run the risk of beginning a a down ward spiral of resentment and jealousy.
If your marriage is truly the most important relationship in your life, why would you do anything even remotely risk it? I know for some of you these behaviours may sound a little unreasonable or even unfair.
Why should you act differently even though you haven't done anything wrong? you may ask or Why should you suffer because your spouse has problems with jealousy? Well once you have entered into a relationship especially a marriage you are no longer single.
You need to start making decisions in your life based, not only on what's best for you, but on what's best for your marriage.
Once you have looked closely at your own behaviours and eliminated the ones that are contributing to jealousy in your relationship, there is another step you can take.
If you can see that your partner is struggling with jealousy and they don't want to talk with you about it, I would strongly encourage you to try and open up the lines of communication yourself.
This may not be easy.
And in some cases, it may not even be possible.
But learning a few techniques and taking an open, loving, reassuring stance on the issue can help you make it happen.
