The Jealousy In Relationship Solution - Grace Shaw
Chapter 1: Understanding Jealousy In Relationships
Am I A Jealous Partner?
The term jealousy
probably rings a negative bell in the ears of many and people are quick to reply a big NO to the question of Are you jealous in your relationships?
But contrary to what a lot of people think, jealousy is a prevalent emotion in relationships. If people are true to themselves, they would admit having felt this emotion at some point.
Think of the small feeling of annoyance you had the other day when your partner was chatting with someone of the opposite sex from the office. The conversation lasted over an hour, although you were trying to get his or her attention. Or, when your partner stumbled into an old friend in the mall, and you thought the way they greeted each other was a bit disturbing or even annoying. Jealousy doesn’t have to feel like a burning flame consuming you from within and making you want to explode at the very sight of your partner talking to another person. It could be that small annoyance you easily shoved aside when you thought your partner was too chatty with someone else at a party.
The truth is that a bit of jealousy looms in the heart of many and while it can be a destructive emotion, a mild feeling of jealousy is perfectly normal and instinctive – a natural feeling that drives us to protect what is ours [6,7]. Without this mild feeling, we might feel indifferent as to whatever happens with our partner, which can again question if there is true love in the relationship. The issue with jealousy is that it grows, and like a tiny spark, can become an uncontrollable flame that can consume even the most loving relationships.
So how do you know if you are becoming jealous in your relationship? It is imperative to pay attention to some of the signs and triggers of jealousy to detect and deal with the adverse outcomes of being overly protective. Jealousy can grow into such a destructive behavior that brings out selfishness, anger, and extreme control in a relationship.
Jealousy usually starts from subtle envious thoughts and emotions and can gradually grow into behavioral outbursts and hurtful words. But, even before jealousy begins, there are typically several underlying factors that can cause this emotion, ranging from trust issues to lack of self-esteem to experiences from previous relationships - or even experiences within a current relationship [27,³¹]. So many other factors can trigger this negative emotion. It is therefore vital to understand what is causing jealousy and deal with the root cause before a relationship is destroyed.
Have you been or have you recently become somewhat overprotective, overbearing, or controlling in a way that you feel the urge to monitor everything your partner is doing including their phone calls, emails, and chats? Are you struggling with self-esteem issues and require constant reassurance from your partner that you are the only one in their life? Do you have trust issues that make you doubt what your partner tells you about where they would be and what they would be doing? Do you continuously nurse fears of losing your partner?
These can be indications of jealousy creeping into a relationship and should be dealt with in a way that can reverse these emotions and in turn, build emotional intimacy and trust [18].
Reasons People Get Jealous
Jealousy is an emotion channeled in the direction of a perceived threat or fear of betrayal or abandonment [13,¹⁷,¹⁸]. It is the feeling of resentment we get when we fear that someone held in high regard might abuse our trust. It is a show of opposition towards a competitor. It is an accumulation of negative thoughts and feelings sometimes based on a loss but mostly on the fear of failure of a relationship or friendship.
But what drives people to become jealous? There are various reasons why people get jealous in relationships, and the reasons vary from one person to another. The important thing to realize, contrary to what you might think, your partner is not the reason for your jealousy. This is an emotion that has to do with the person. A partner can only serve as a trigger for the jealous feeling [30].
Most likely, when jealousy is an inherent problem in a person, they will show their jealousy even in a different relationship. Also, if the reason for getting jealous is valid, jealousy should never be used to harm your partner as it can further destroy the relationship.
Some of the factors that cause jealousy include issues with self-confidence, insecurities, and even fear.
Battling Confidence Issues
Let's face it. How many of us can say we feel 100% confident in ourselves all the time? How many can boldly say we think we are attractive enough, sexy enough, and intelligent enough? How many can say they have more than what it takes to keep our partners falling head over heels in love with us over and over again? I would assume only a very few people would raise their hands to this question.
In reality, no one is perfect, and you know what as well? There is always someone out there smarter or prettier than you. But should we sit down and brood over our so-called flaws
? Of course not! Everyone is unique, and we should learn to embrace and appreciate ourselves – this will boost our self-confidence in relationships and life in general.
Jealousy highlights what you see as your flaws or your weaknesses and paints a picture of it for you whenever you feel your relationship is threatened. Then, something as simple as your partner exchanging pleasantries with another person, makes you think they have intentions to leave you. But maybe, just maybe, it’s all in your head.
A lack of confidence in one’s self or low self-esteem can lead to jealousy in relationships [2,¹⁰]. When a person believes they have a poor physique, lack the best education or job, or think they are not at their peak level in life, their confidence in a relationship can be affected. This can gradually manifest into jealous thoughts and feelings.
For example, if a person has blemished skin which affects their self-confidence, they could easily get jealous when they find their partner talking with someone
