Default Re: How to Get Rid of Jealousy?

Wow... Just... Wow...

I felt this way when I was 19 too.

Then I grew up.

I don't say this to sound condescending.

Have you ever had a girlfriend BEFORE this woman?

If so, does that past experience of YOURS affect how you feel about HER?

Speaking for myself, from the time I was 16 to about 22, I felt like I was the center of the sexual universe and I subconciously interpreted a woman's choice to be with another man as a rejection of me. Hell, she didn't even have to be my girlfriend - I wanted to do EVERYbody.

Then I grew up.

Some things only come with time - like knowing when to fold aces on a Q-T-3 flop. There are times it is the right choice, but you can't learn them without getting burnt a few times.

Once your jealousy costs you a few relationships that are important to you, you start to re-evaluate.

This may sound cynical, but I believe that the chances of ANY relationship that begins in a persons late teens has as much smaller chance of success than drawing a runner runner straight flush.

You're just not going to be the same person at 30 that you are today.

You'll probably like yourself a lot more as well.

As for jealousy not being rooted in insecurity - reconsider.

Alternatively, you could kidnap a 2-year old, have her raised in seclusion by neutered monks and marry her with the confidence that she's had no experience in life other than you. Of, course, her oral will be lousy.
