How Jealousy Can Kill A Relationship

Did you know that one of the easiest ways to kill a relationship is by being jealous? That's right, jealousy not only kills any attraction you once had but actually moves you further apart. It shows insecurity and neediness to the point where it's unbearable for anyone to be around... even your friends! The thing that causes that jealousy to boil up inside is your mind playing tricks, which stems from your self worth, if you think you aren't good enough for your man then he will begin to think this too and this can lead onto cheating... hence you constantly wanting to know what he's up to and protecting him. Here is how you can get rid of your jealous streak and move forward with your love life. The most common source of jealousy is an experience in our past in which someone has betrayed our trust, which as a result causes us to project our old insecurities onto our current relationship. Obvious symptoms of jealousy include becoming suspicious or upset every time you see your guy has text another woman, or if you see him talking to another woman at a party and feel the need to break it up. This is such destructive behaviour for a relationship, particularly if your guy is actually very trustworthy and has to constantly explain his actions to you. Here's how jealousy will cause you to lose a guy: 1. He'll distance himself from you emotionally If your man happens to be very trustworthy, and you're constantly accusing him or getting suspicious every time he gets a text, what you're doing is actually pretty offensive. Because what you are actually subconsciously communicating to him is this: "I don't trust you to behave when you're not with me". This lack of trust will make him lose respect for you and he may start to emotionally withdraw from the relationship if he feels like you don't believe he can stay faithful. 2. He'll start to resent your company If you start getting on his case about enjoying other women's company when you're out together, he will simply stop inviting you out. If he thinks you're going to be difficult then he'll see you as a burden and try to find ways to get away from your company so that he can relax and be himself without having to babysit you! 3. The more you act jealous, the more he'll flirt with other women! This is an interesting point about male psychology. If you get emotional, protective and upset whenever you see him flirting with other women, a guy will start to realise that you are giving him so much attention for it. By showing him attention you are showing him a form of love, even if you're angry with him. So what he'll start to associate in his head is that whenever he wants your attention, all he has to do is flirt with other women and you'll come running to his side. So even if he wasn't flirting before, now he's going to make sure he does because he knows that he gets all that love and attention if he makes you jealous! ---- From the book "Secrets of Attraction" by Matthew Hussey
