Experience I overcome serious jealousy issues with conscious work and effort, and that was a very liberating experience. I also helped several people to abandon their jealous behavior and line of thinking.
Question Hey!I recently found myself getting jealous and upset over a situation that occurred the other morning and I would like to have your opinion about it. I happened to wake up early one morning and heard my fiance talking with his exwife on the phone. I know that it was her because i heard him say her name.I was just lying in bed and was able to hear everything he was saying.My fiance was telling her all about his life and even called her "honey" at one point in the conversation.And before he hung up with her he even told her that he loved her.Now I have a problem with this because his ex wife treated him very badly and he claims that he has reached a point in his life where he is okay with her.And also he says that he keeps in contact with her because of the kids that they have together-the youngest is 20 yrs old!I try to be understanding but it's hard for me-am I being overreactive?I confronted him with his call and he claims that he says "I love you" to alot of people both men and women,but I am not completely convinced.
Answer Hi, Melia. Thanks for your question. Before I can answer it, I need to know what bothers you exactly about what happened. Obviously, you cannot expect him to not talk to his ex-wife if they have kids together that require communication in order to take care of them.
Is it the "l" word that got to you? Then think about it - does he really say "I love you" as a matter of speech in a conversation to other people?
Also, how long ago and why did they divorce?
Let me know, and I will follow up.
