Jealousy

When you are jealous in your relationship, you are probably scared that you may lose your partner or his/her attention. You may feel insecure.

Your partner may also feel jealous.

Feelings of jealousy are normal. If the jealousy becomes very strong, it can become a problem for you or your partner. Neither you nor your partner have to be jealous to prove that you love each other.

If you or your partner react in a jealous way, try to understand what causes the jealousy. Talk with your partner about the effect of the jealousy on both of you and about your expectations and limits.

Als u of uw partner jaloers reageert, probeer dan te begrijpen wat deze jaloezie veroorzaakt. Praat met uw partner over het effect van de jaloezie op u beiden en over uw verwachtingen en grenzen.
