How to Deal with Jealousy/How to Make One Jealous - Insecurity


Expert: PracticalHappiness.com - 9/17/2007

Question
Please help me I have fallen in love with the girl of my dreams but im ruining it with my insecurity and jealousy.My girlfriend from my first serious relationship cheated on me, i know its happened to dozens of men and need to forget about this but it wasnt a drunken one night stand or "it just kinda happened" this was planned adultory. it was set up after her friend introduced her to her boyfriends friend. i found out and was completely shattered by this, but its following me arround like a bad smell. ive met a really nice girl, shes everything i want and more the trouble is im convinced she'll cheat on me too. i couldnt take another experience like that. she texts former lovers but insists its as friends, she once met her ex in a bar while on a night out with friends, her best mate ended up spending the night at my girls house with my girls ex-boyfriends mate! i found this out by chance and when i confronted her i get called paranoid and controlling.last night she took a call from her sister who i heard clearly because my girl had the phone on loudspeaker say "is he with you?" she replied "yes" the her sister said "i wont say anything then" my girl said "go on" then her sister began talking about a guy she knows from back home. my girlfriend panicked and started franticly lowering the volume on her mobile, while trying not to say to much in front of me, now, forgive me if im naive here but am i the only person on earth who would find this unsettling? according the my girlfriend im a paranoid nutcase. I love her so much but do i have grounds to worry? she says shes never been unfaithful to anyone in her life but im so confused why put me through this?

Answer
Thanks for your question Gavin. Indeed, jealousy and insecurity can be quite serious problems.

I would like for you to start our work with reading my article on overcoming jealousy.  Go to my site www.practicalhappiness.com click on "dating blog" and once you are there, search under "jealousy."   

Also, I would like for you to realize and remember that your past experiences have NOTHING to do with the present girl that you are seeing. Just because one or two or more girls have done something wrong to you doesn't mean that this one will. You must refuse to become a victim of your own past.

Please read it and follow up.
