1. Identify Triggers

Understanding the specific situations or behaviors that trigger your jealousy is the first step. Whether it's social media interactions, work-related scenarios, or experiences, pinpointing the triggers helps you address the root causes.

2. Communicate Openly

Establishing open communication with your partner is crucial. Share your feelings without accusing, and encourage your partner to do the same. Honest conversations about insecurities can strengthen your bond and dispel misunderstandings.

3. Build Self-Confidence

Work on enhancing your self-esteem and self-worth. Engage in activities that make you feel accomplished, set personal goals, and celebrate your achievements. A confident mindset diminishes the need for excessive jealousy.

4. Trust Your Partner

Trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship. Choose to trust your partner unless there's concrete evidence to suggest otherwise. Constant suspicion can erode trust and lead to unnecessary conflicts.

5. Focus on the Present

Avoid dwelling on past events that trigger jealousy. Instead, concentrate on the present moment and the positive aspects of your relationship. Letting go of past grievances prevents them from poisoning your current connection.

6. Seek Professional Help

If jealousy is causing significant distress, consider seeking the guidance of a therapist or counselor. Professional help can provide valuable insights and coping mechanisms to address the root causes of jealousy.

7. Encourage Transparency

Promote transparency in your relationship. Encourage your partner to share their experiences, and reciprocate by being open about your own. Transparency fosters trust and diminishes the need for jealousy.

Jealousy is a common emotion, but how you manage it can significantly impact your relationship. By adopting these healthy approaches, you can cultivate trust, strengthen your connection, and overcome jealousy, fostering a more satisfying and harmonious partnership.

    A jealous individual just broke up with me, talking of my past when he triggers it , infuriates him. Reading comment from men in my old pictures and commenting nastily. I'm happy he's out bcos I don't think I could have cope.

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
