How To Deal With A Jealous Girlfriend [GF] by JayKayMaybachz(m): 9:18am On Jun 10, 2015
Dealing with a jealous girlfriend is an exercise in subtlety and tact. It can be a challenge. If you want the relationship to survive you have to support her as she deals with the problem. You have to be able to do this without antagonizing her and making things worse. It is a fine line but something that is very possible if you love this woman and are committed to survival of the relationship.


So while she has to be the one who deals with her own emotional issues there are things you should avoid that will make it easier for her. Remember you need to be a gentleman here:




Be subtle when you check out other women:There is no way you can avoid checking out other women altogether. We all do it and even if you try I doubt you will be able to totally abstain. Just keep it subtle and avoid ogling. This is something that you should be doing as a gentleman anyway.


Avoid talking about female celebrities:
We all have our favorites. Among most couples it is harmless to talk about the celebrities we like. But when dealing with a jealous girlfriend make sure to avoid this topic.


Don't criticize her appearance or compliment her by comparison: This should go without saying but don't tell her she needs to change anything about herself, it will only fuel her insecurity. If you compliment her by comparing her to other women she could get angry with the fact you checked out other women in the first place. So instead of saying "You are the most beautiful woman at this party," just leave it with "You're beautiful.


Don't withdraw even more if she is bombarding you with calls: The natural reaction when you have a snooping jealous girlfriend who calls all the time is to withdraw in order to protect your privacy. If you have done nothing wrong but she insists on constant calling it is easy to become more secretive. Make a conscious effort to do he opposite and become more open. As well as avoiding certain behaviors that could antagonize her, there are things you can do that will support and help her.


Talk and improve communications: The worst thing you can do is get frustrated with a jealous girlfriend. You have to do your best to understand her feelings, accept them without criticism and talk it out with her. The better your communication the more she will trust you.


Actively work on trust: Trust is something that is built over time. It happens without us consciously working on it but we can help it along. If you work on trust it can help your girlfriend's jealousy.


Reassure her: It is important to understand that this process takes time and not to expect overnight changes. You need to maintain the lack of frustration for a long time. And not just pretending to not be frustrated but you actually need to not be frustrated. Reassure her that you understand her feelings and understand that it will take time to deal with the issues. Reassure her that you will be patient.


Help build her self esteem in other areas: Everything we improve about ourselves has a flow on effect in other areas in life. If you can help your jealous girlfriend to build her self esteem in other areas then it will help reduce the jealousy. You can't do this forcefully or in a way that could be misinterpreted as you implying that she is fat, but an example is if she increases her fitness levels. Not only will she feel better about herself physically but regular fitness also increase mental wellbeing.
