How Do I Cope With A Jealous Girlfriend?

A jealous girlfriend can be very hard to handle, the possessiveness, the apparent ridiculousness to you is palpable but to her, she is sure that you are cheating, or planning on cheating or planning on planning on cheating with your flatmate, your ex-girlfriend, your neighbour or Holly Valance.

How do you cope with it? It's very difficult. The girl is clearly worrying over nothing due to low self esteem, she fears that she will lose you over the smallest things. What you can do is not make it worse, don't hang out alone with beautiful friends, try not to stay out drinking and always call her at the end of the night, this helps her know that you are hers. Reassurance can work with light jealousy.

The problem is that often the jealous is pathological, even when these steps are taken, the jealousy, the lack of personal esteem means that her mind works against her, she calls up crying asking if you are sleeping with your sister cos she saw the way you two were looking at each other.

So, it is that the only way to 'cope' with a girlfriend in this situation is through the help of a psychologist or perhaps in the worse case scenario, you can hoist her off, and start again. Sad but true.
