Dealing with Jealousy and Insecurity in Relationships


    Jealousy and insecurity are common emotions that can arise in any relationship. While it is natural to feel these emotions from time to time, they can become problematic if they are not dealt with in a healthy way. Unresolved jealousy and insecurity can lead to distrust, conflict, and even the breakdown of the relationship. Therefore, it is important to learn how to deal with these emotions in a constructive way.



    The first step in dealing with jealousy and insecurity is to identify the root cause of these emotions. Often, jealousy and insecurity stem from a fear of loss, a lack of trust, or feelings of inadequacy. It is important to take the time to reflect on what is causing these emotions and to communicate these feelings with your partner in an open and honest way. Being vulnerable and sharing your fears with your partner can help to build trust and intimacy in the relationship, while also allowing for constructive communication around the issue. 

    Another important step in dealing with jealousy and insecurity is to focus on building self-esteem and self-confidence. Often, jealousy and insecurity can arise from feelings of inadequacy or a belief that one's partner may find someone else more attractive or interesting. By working on building self-esteem and self-confidence, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self-worth and reduce feelings of jealousy and insecurity. This may involve practicing self-care, setting achievable goals, and seeking support from friends or a therapist.

    Communication is also key in dealing with jealousy and insecurity in relationships. It is important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your emotions and to listen to their perspective as well. It is important to avoid blaming or accusing your partner, as this can lead to defensiveness and conflict. Instead, try to approach the conversation with a non-judgmental and compassionate attitude, and work together to find solutions that address both partners' needs.



    Finally, it is important to set boundaries and establish healthy relationship norms. This may involve setting boundaries around social media use, spending time with friends of the opposite sex, or discussing expectations around communication and exclusivity. Establishing healthy relationship norms can help to reduce feelings of jealousy and insecurity, as both partners have a clear understanding of what is and is not acceptable in the relationship.

    In conclusion, dealing with jealousy and insecurity in relationships requires a combination of self-reflection, self-care, communication, and boundary-setting. It is important to identify the root cause of these emotions, work on building self-esteem and self-confidence, communicate openly and honestly with your partner, and establish healthy relationship norms. By taking a proactive and compassionate approach to dealing with these emotions, individuals can build strong and fulfilling relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual understanding.

                   It was a sunny day in June when we found out our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease, the day was going great, I made a couple of sales, business wasn't great but it was paying bills. I was talking to my husband in "the shop" (the tiny home in the backyard that turned out to be the perfect workspace) about the rodent problem that we were experiencing when my oldest son came in with the mail. There it was, a notice that our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease. The talk of rodents went elsewhere, we immediately went into survival mode thinking and planning what would be our next move.
