RomanceClass.com AdviceJealousy is just insecurity. You feel unsure of his love for you, and you try to cut out all other things that he might feel love for instead. You have carried this to an extreme, though, wanting to control every aspect of his life. You need to learn to trust him and have faith in him that no matter what he's doing on the side, he will return to you and love only you. Every time you want to make a cutting remark, you have to tell yourself that you have faith in him and that you want the relationship to work so you have to trust him. If you repeat this enough, then you will start to let go of that horrible ugly feeling and instead you'll be reminded of how strong the relationship is.
