I am a jealous person. how do i change this?

i have been going out with my boyfriend for over a year and i still get jealous of the littlest things. like him texting people. I dont show it to him anymore but i still feel bad. I cant explain it because i know he loves me and doesnt care for anyone else but me, but i just want to know a few techniques to help me cope with or eliminate the jealousy.I am a jealous person. how do i change this?
First of all, does your boyfriend text only girls or does he text both? Sometimes doing something with only the opposite sex can cause a little confusion. Is it only texting that you are concerned about or are there other things? To help you cope with your feelings try texting friends to help take your mind off of what he is doing. Now, if he is doing this a lot when you two are together then try talking to him and letting him know that while you don't mind him texting would it be possible to not text so much while you two are trying to spend some time together. Try spending some time doing things that you enjoy to help keep your mind off of things. One thing I would like to share with you is that you should not worry so much because eventually you will end up doing something that you enjoy and he might become jealous. I always suggest that while we wrap ourselves up in others we should not forgot about ourselves and what makes us happy. If his texting is with someone that you don't care about try little things that might interfere with his texting (kissing him, massaging him, or some little thing that will be a distraction). Remember, don't do this all the time so that he doesn't put two and two together but just enough so that he may get the hint. If you continue to feel this way then you really need to talk to him so that he understands how some of these things make him feel. Communication is the key to keeping your relationship open and honest. Maybe while he is texting you could also do something like get on the computer and chat or even try sending him a text or two with hugs and kisses. It doesn't sound like you have anything to be worried about. If he is texting all the time then try talking to him and letting him know of your concern. Remember, don't make it a big deal just tell him that you were a little concerned. Hope this helps and good luck.I am a jealous person. how do i change this?
Yeah I understand, I was jealous for a long time after my boyfriend kissed his ex. Its normal to feel jealous or curious about who's texting him and whether somethings going on. Your hearts on the line so its understandable why anyone would feel jealous at some point in a relationship.





You just have to remind yourself about how much he loves you, think to yourself about whether he would really do something to hurt you. You have to decide whether you're going to trust him or not, if you are then try not to think about being jealous...its hard but it only hurts you, and if something happened with him and someone else, he's not the guy you wanted or loved in the first place.





If you have a reason not to fully trust him talk about it, just tell him ';I don't know why but I feel jealous sometimes...I know you love me and would never do anything...'; That way he feels like you know he's a genuine guy and wouldn't do anything, otherwise he may feel like he's doing something wrong. You just want him to remind you that theres no need to be jealous.
Well, if he is texting other people when you guys are out having a good time together, I would consider that rude. He can text people later.





Sometimes people think that they have a jealousy problem and really they just have a problem with people being rude to them. Which is perfectly normal.





Anyway there are a few things you can do if you, in fact, suffer from jealousy problems and it is the same technique used to treat addiction to cigarettes and food. It is called EFT (emotional freedom technique)





Here is a basic idea on how to do it:

trust me im the same way with mine. it just happens and you have to learn to trust him. that he wouldnt do anything...thats all i do
I feel for you. I am the same and we've been together 4 years. Even when I don't let him know I am jealous, it eats me up inside. I think I am slowly killing myself.
unfortunately jealousy is genetic and you cant just STOP being jealous, it will always be a part of you... confront your boyfriend and let him know..
text 2 and show less attention...play fire with fire...
