A
romantic relationship brings in a lot of beautiful, enchanting moments and
happy memories. But along with all the nice things, it also heralds innumerable
complications and concerns, jealousy being just one of them. Jealousy might
develop as a small seed of mistrust; which can then blow out of proportion and
destroy the foundation of a lovingly built, once-happy relationship.
This
“green eyed monster” can sprout out with some base to reality or might be just
a feeling that develops without a base, owing to some inner, deeply rooted
psychological concern. Psychologists have accredited the cause of jealousy to
many factors, ranging from insecurity, lack of confidence in self, to a feeling
or sense of threat to self. The feeling is quite normal when it is limited to a
mild possessiveness; however this mild “normal” emotion might soon turn into
chronic emotional instability. Sometimes jealousies are based on the treatment
one receives from one’s partner. Constant rebuffs, lack of attention and
interest, alignment towards other members of the sex might all be a factor
which leads to jealousy. Whatever the source, the end result is always
detrimental to the couple and their relationship. It is very important to
understand where the feeling of jealousy has steeped from and also to nip it at
the bud in order to avoid further damage. Here are some ways to avoid or repair
the dents put into a relationship by the ill-effect of jealousy.
