Issues Of Jealousy and Trust In A Relationship
June 22, 2009 by Kai Montpetit
They say the issue of jealousy and trust in a relationship is inevitable. Even if a relationship is at early stage, this kind of issue may occur. Suspicions are much more intense when strong feelings bring all your emotional nerve endings to the surface.
Jealousy, most of us feel it at some time or other. Some people experience it more strongly than others and some even let jealousy consume them. Sometimes the feeling is justified and at other times it isn’t. It’s an ugly emotion, both for the one feeling it and for the person at the other end.
Jealousy happens in all relationships. To get jealous is human and usually occurs when we want to protect what we think belong to us. No one for sure will tell you she/he hasn’t been jealous at one point in her/his life. Jealousy is also one of the reasons why people breakup. But really there are ways to overcome the ugly emotion, if you really want to.
Many people believe that they only fall in love with people who share their views on trust. Sadly, in real life, it doesn’t always turn out that way. That’s why you need to talk about it. If you’re having some issues of jealousy and trust, best thing to do is to look back. Look back and see what are your expectations. You’ll soon realize that maybe you have different views, with that it doesn’t make either of you wrong or right.
Another thing that you can do to overcome the issues of jealousy and trust is to make a commitment. Commit to be fair and let little things pass. Be fair, simply put yourself into his shoes and you’ll figure out what I mean. Let little things pass, this doesn’t mean you care less, but just ignore those things that are not worthy of both your attention. Do yourself a favor and show your boyfriend that you are confident about the relationship.
It takes much effort, not only on your part, but on your partner as well to have a great relationship that you aspire. Love is an endless work. The more you want to grow, the more you have to put forth an effort to make it work. Resolving the issues of jealousy and trust is just one of those issues in a relationship that requires effort. But then again, you still got a choice. A choice to let go when you’re hurting too much, a choice to move on when things aren’t sweeter like before and a choice to give up when love isn’t enough anymore.
I used to be jealous over my cats because my boyfriend tend to ignore me when my cats starts to purr and smooch all over him. But then I realized, same thing goes when I’m in his position. Bringing that realization to life has made me overcome my issues of jealousy. Perhaps that realization can help you too. Why are you jealous? And what is that you fear anyway?
