We often feel jealous because we fear losing the things or people that matter to us the most.

Jealousy Self Help


Book Description

Do you want to STOP reacting with jealousy with your partner and avoid ruining your life and your relationship? Do you want to STOP being insecure and possessive in relationships? Love is the most intense emotion in humans. There are various types of love, but most people seek to find it in a romantic relationship with a like-minded partner. Thus, for most of us, a romantic relationship is the most significant thing in life, and it provides a deep source of fulfillment. While humans have an intrinsic need for loving connections, the ability to establish a healthy relationship seems not so obvious. The social scene in this era has become a nightmare-something that shouldn't be. Dating feels like being in a roller coaster, not to mention that marriages, both young and old, are breaking every other day. Relationships fall apart for various reasons, and the failure of it leads to great mental distress, which most often determines the pattern that most people follow when relating to others later. It is needless to say that we all have to strive consciously toward mastering the skills needed to make relationships sustainable. Why are relationships becoming so hard? Why are there so many bad experiences in dating and relationships? Are people only sharing their bad dating experiences and not the good ones? Why have we become so ham-fisted at building lasting relationships? Why do people always fail despite trying too hard to love? Have we forgotten how to love? Do we have too much going on in our lives that we barely have time to nurture our relationships? Do people have a flawed perception of how the whole dating thing should be? Is there a formula for maintaining a relationship? Remember that while problems arise from time to time in your journey, you can always solve the problem. You are not the first one to face problems in a relationship, and neither are you the last. Life is all about learning and utilizing knowledge to make you a better person. Not all hope is lost. One can still have an amazing relationship based on love, trust, and good vibes. I can do it. You can do it!
