Jealousy in relationships.

Bothered by the attention that your boyfriend or girlfriend gets from other people? Can't stand it when your boyfriend's/girlfriend's ex is around? Well, we smell jealousy here.

If you do something foolish about it, like blaming your boyfriend or girlfriend, or lash out at the ex, you are going to drive your boyfriend/girlfriend away. So, how to deal with jealousy in relationships?

1. Recognize why you are jealous.

- People will rarely go out of their ways to make you feel jealous. Instead, jealousy in relationships usually comes from insecurity that you feel about yourself or about your relationship. When you feel a pang of jealousy, try to figure out what is really at the root of it. You will probably find that solving the problem involves changing something about you rather than changing the way your boyfriend/girlfriend or the people around his/her act.

2. Build up your self-esteem.

- Confident people aren't jealous because they know they don't have a reason to be. Take a little time every day to do stuff that makes you feel good about yourself. When insecure thoughts enter your head, try to push them out. Little by little, your confidence will build, and you will care less about what other people think.

3. Quit comparing.

- You are probably tempted to compare yourself to the other girls in your boyfriend's life, and to keep double-checking to make sure your boyfriend thinks you are prettier and cooler than they are. Snap out of it! When it comes to dating, people can't be compared like that. No matter what your boyfriend's exes and female friends are like, he loves you for you.

4. Put yourself in other people's shoes.

- If your boyfriend/girlfriend has an ex who wants him/her back, think about how you will feel if you were him. Maybe probably pretty hopeless and depressed. You have more reason to feel bad for him than to be angry at him.

So yeap. Remember that acting jealous doesn't help in anything. In fact, jealousy in relationships only makes things worse, especially if it changes the way you act around your boyfriend/girlfriend. Why ruin a perfectly good relationship with negative thoughts? Get positive!
