Is Jealousy Ruining Your Relationship or Marriage?

If jealousy is an issue in your relationship or marriage, then you already know that jealous feelings and jealousy can be frustrating, annoying, painful, embarrassing and devastating to your relationship.     We don't have to tell you that jealous feelings and actions that come from those feelings can single-handedly destroy an otherwise good or even great relationship.     If you're dealing with jealousy, you might think you're doomed to live with it forever. We can understand why you would think that way.     Long before we were successful relationship coaches and authors, jealousy was an issue for us in our relationship and we were able to overcome it.        With our help, overcoming jealousy may not be as difficult for you as you might think...

Here are some myths and misconceptions that you might be thinking right now about jealousy...

Jealousy MYTH # 1  - "It will just go away on its own."

We wish this were the case, but unfortunately this isn't reality. Most people who have jealousy issues in their lives don't realize how big the issues truly are and how much their jealousy is affecting the people around them.

We've found that for many people, their jealousy becomes sort of like a blind spot and they can't see how bad their jealous behavior is affecting their relationships in negative ways.

Jealousy and Relationship MYTH  # 2 - "My Partner Is The Jealous one with the problem-- not me."   

If you are in a relationship or marriage with someone who is jealous and you think they are the only one with the problem... then you might want to think again.

A relationship or marriage is just that-- a relationship between two people. Not one person. If one person in the relationship is jealous, believe us when we say that it is affecting both people in the relationship--and it's a problem for both of you.

Jealousy and Relationship MYTH # 3 - "Jealousy Wouldn't Be A Problem If Only ____________  wouldn't happen.

If you think that jealousy wouldn't be an issue or wouldn't be a problem if only your partner wasn't so attractive, so gullible, or  you hadn't been cheated on in the past or anything else you'd like to fill in the blank with...
 
You are simply putting the blame for the issue of jealousy somewhere else instead of taking steps yourself to heal it.

Taking responsibility for making healthy changes in your life is a big key to overcoming jealousy and that's where you need to start.

Jealousy MYTH # 4 -   "My Partner Is Just Too Sensitive." 

 Again, since most people don't realize how negatively jealousy is affecting their relationship or marriage until it's almost too late, this should also be a red flag and a wake up call.

When either partner in the relationship or marriage is suggesting that their partner is "just too sensitive" then they are not honoring that person's feelings about the jealousy and how it's affecting them and the relationship or marriage.

These are just a few of the myths that keep jealousy alive and as we work with our in person and telephone coaching clients we can tell you that there are many more myths that keep people like you "stuck" and living with the pain of jealousy when you don't have to.

if you want to overcome jealousy before it ruins this relationship (or your next one) then we highly encourage you to read the rest of the articles on this site and take advantage of the other resources we offer.

Many people fear that once jealousy has reared it's ugly head that you're stuck with it forever.

This simply isn't true. We've seen countless couples reconnect and enjoy much deeper love and connection when the jealousy was no longer raging out of control.

If there's one thing we want to say to you, it's this...

No matter how bad your jealousy is and how much damage it seems to be doing to your relationship--you can get rid of your jealousy and we're here to help.
