How to Relationship when you are dating a person with jealousy issues. Experiencing a little bit of jealousy within A romantic relationship is not always a bad thing. After all, when a rival expresses interest in our partner, experiencing some jealousy can be a healthy sign of love and a reminder of the value of the relationship. But dealing with a partner who is pathologically jealous can be a nightmare… its a whole different story. In this video, I’m going to explain the difference between normal jealousy and pathological jealousy and share how to relationship with a jealous partner. First… let’s make an important distinction…. JEALOUS FEELINGS ARE NOT EQUAL TO JEALOUS BEHAVIORS, the first is cause by some insecurity, fear, or anxiety over the possibility of losing someone… but jealous behaviors… those are caused by a need to control and posses your partner. There’s a big difference here. Think about it... jealousy is the rawest of emotions.... and it's not always a bad thing. If you see a person making moves on your partner, expressing interest, or trying to date your partner, experiencing some jealousy and talking to your partner about it is a healthy and appropriate response. But in the absence of any real threat, a partner expressing jealousy, anger, and disgust may be motivated by possessiveness and a need to control. too often, we don’t realize how jealous and possessive a person is until we are in way too deep. That’s because recognizing jealous behaviors early in a relationship can be difficult to do. So, here are five of the earliest warning signs you’re your partner’s jealousy is pathological and might only get worse. Observing any of these signs once doesn’t mean you cut your ties and run away… and Like most other difficult emotional experiences, jealousy, if treated correctly, can be a trigger for growth. And that begins with an honest conversation with your partner discussing how jealous behavior is hurting your relationship. If your partner is able to admit his jealous behavior and accept responsibility, you’re probably dealing with an insecurity issue. In that case, working together on the issue can become the first step in increased self-awareness and greater understanding both of your mate and of the relationship. But if you’re seeing multiple warning signs or a progressive pattern develop, you should be concerned. Pathologically jealous individuals construct decisive evidence of disloyalty from irrelevant incidents, they refuse to change their views even when confronted with contradicting information, and are inclined to accuse their partner of unfaithfulness with many other individuals. Under this form of jealousy, one of the partners considers that he or she has an exclusive ownership over another individual; and that this ownership is a necessity for preserving the relationship. Everyone experiences jealousy to a certain degree in a relationship. Fearing losing your partner or feeling threatened around other attractive people can be a sign that you care about your relationship. On the other hand, it can become a dangerous problem when jealousy becomes excessive, unwarranted and intrusive to the other person. Pathological jealousy can be quite destructive in a relationship, and, in extreme cases even dangerous in terms of assault behavior, suicide or homicide. So,Be wise, trust your instincts, and protect yourself. If something doesn’t sound or feel right, do what’s best for you and keep yourself safe. That brings me to my next point… If you’ve had experiences with a jealous partner and you’d like to share your example, please feel free to leave a comment. Sharing your story might be incredibly helpful to someone who’s dealing with a similar situation.
