How do you handle jealousy in your relationships. Not freindships, because i get jealous of my friends all of the time, but i handle that (sorta) but how do you handle jealousy with your boyfriends...i just dont know how...suggestions anyone?

Jealousy can come from two sources: Lack of trust and/or insecurity. So, the only way to get rid of jealousy is to get rid of those two.

Has your boyfriend ever done anything to betray your trust, such as cheating or lying about where he was? If so, your jealousy is somewhat justified. However, if he hasn't, other girls can be sparking your jealousy. Do other girls flirt with him? If so, remember that it takes two to tango; Meaning, that no matter how much another girl likes him, or flirts with him, it doesn't mean that the feelings will be returned by your boyfriend.

Insecurity, like I said, can also play a role in jealousy. Remember this: If your boyfriend is with you now, then he must have feelings for you, right?
You need to believe that you're worthy of him. This is the reason that people always say that you can't love anyone else until you love yourself.
Confidence involves a change in attitude. Believe that you're beautiful and wonderful and be positive in your abilities.
He obviously thinks that you're special if he's with you; Have faith in that, in him, and most of all, have faith in yourself.

I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!
