How do you go about talking to your partner about the subject of jealousy?

Jealousy

Jeal”ous*y\, n.; pl. Jealousies. [ F. jalousie. See Jealous, and cf. Jalousie.] The quality of being jealous; earnest concern or solicitude; painful apprehension of rivalship in cases nearly affecting one’s happiness; painful suspicion of the faithfulness of husband, wife, or lover.

In an ideal scenario, jealousy should be non-existent in relationships. After all, trust should be present in a healthy relationship. The former contradicts the latter. Without trust, the relationship ought to be non-existent itself.

However, we all know that to be human is to err. No one is perfect, hence, so are relationships. Jealousy can creep in. Everyone has their own set of insecurities. That’s why it brings me to ask the question.

Of course, it’s always recommended to communicate first and not argue. Raising voices will hinder understanding. It will only make the problem worse. Questions not accusations are suggested. Answers not mockery are advised. But, again, we all know we can’t have every conversation go as we hoped it will. We can only hope and persevere.
