True Love Relationship Coaching

If you have been living with a jealous partner for any length of time, you are probably tired of constantly explaining and defending yourself, especially if you are innocent of the charges that you are cheating.  Jealousy in a relationship is about fear of loss and can range from mild to severe feelings.  Many articles address how to overcome your own feelings of jealousy.  But what if you are the one who is on the receiving end of jealous behavior?

It is totally normal to feel a twinge of discomfort when your lovely wife is talking to a handsome man.  Out of control jealousy is when your husband has secretly planted a GPS device in your car to know your whereabouts at any time of the day or night.  If jealousy has become a problem in your relationship, chances are you are not dealing with either extreme.  Most people do not have maniacal partners who stalk their every move.  But many people do have frequent arguments centered on jealousy.

What can you do to reduce the occurrence of jealousy in your partner?

1. Seek first to understand as Stephen Covey would say.  Sometimes simply listening to your partner about what is creating the feelings of jealousy will help to diffuse the situation.
2. Ask what you can do to help.  This does not mean that you must agree to unreasonable demands to alter your behavior.  It is an extension of really wanting to understand your partner’s feelings.
3. Offer reassurance.  When you do this, you are not saying that you will change your behavior to include dressing plainly, refusing to look the opposite sex in the eye, or avoiding contact altogether. You are simply reminding your partner of the reason you are together and why you chose him/her.

If your partner is experiencing mild jealousy, often these three actions will help to reduce the fear.  If your partner’s behavior is bordering on the crazy stuff, like calling or texting you constantly in an attempt to control your behavior, you may need the help of a neutral third party. That’s where Relationship Coaching comes in handy.

Meanwhile, you can bring back the magical spark to your relationship and fall in love all over again. Learn to co-create passion that lasts a lifetime with True Love Relationship Coaching calls for couples. http://trueloverelationshipcoaching.com.
