Jealousy in Relationships
You Asked: I Can't Control My Jealousy
Dear Sugar,
I am in a relationship with a wonderful guy and the only problem we have is me — I cannot control my jealousy. I take every look or stare he gives another woman as a demerit to myself, leaving me wondering why I'm not good enough. I know a look is just a look, but I can't help but take it personally.
You Asked: Can I Move on From This Deception?
Dear Sugar,
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years now. He is an amazing boyfriend; in fact, I've never dated a guy like this before. About six months into our relationship, his ex became a problem.
Do Tell: How Do You Overcome Jealousy?
Jealousy can bring out the worst in people. Whether you get steamed because your boyfriend has a late-night meeting with a pretty co-worker, or your good friend chose someone else to be her maid of honor, those hurt feelings can, in turn, make us do and say things to jeopardize our relationships. I find that being calm and honest with the person is the best approach, because if I followed through with my initial response, I'd probably end up regretting it.
You Asked: How Can I Stop Sabotaging My Relationship?
Dear Sugar,
I need your help. I am sabotaging my own relationship and I can't seem to stop. I am very much in love and for the most part, we have a wonderful relationship — we get along great, we laugh, our interests are the same, we want the same things for our future, etc.
Overcoming Jealousy
We've all been there. That angry, envious, kind of sad and resentful feeling that builds up inside us when we see our boyfriend talking to his gorgeous new neighbor. Or if a co-worker gets the promotion you should have gotten.
Do Tell: Have You Ever Been Jealous of a Friend's Engagement?
When you're in a relationship and ready to take that next step, waiting for him to get down on bended knee can feel like an eternity. But if a friend gets engaged before you, it can make the waiting game even more unbearable. I've never been in the engagement race before, and while I know it's not about who gets a ring first, I do know that jealousy can easily get the best of you.
Group Therapy: How Do I Befriend Other Women?
I never had a close relationship to my adopted mother, and I never knew my birth mother. I have one older sister who I have never been close to, and I was home-schooled kindergarten through high school, so I never developed close female friendships or did the normal girl stuff as a kid. Now, at 24 years old, I have a lot of trouble relating to other women.

You Asked: Why Does he Still Have her Things?
Dear Sugar--
I am 27 years old and have been dating my boyfriend for about a year. Before me, he went out with a girl for a year and a half. He recently moved into a new apartment, but before he moved, I would constantly find her clothes hidden around the house.
Has Facebook Ever Made You Jealous?
Don't lie — you've felt the little green-eyed monster emerge when you've seen a strange friend request from someone of the opposite sex or a flirtatious message on the wall of your significant other.
It doesn't take a study to confirm that the network can make you a little off-balanced, but one has: the CyberPsychology & Behavior Journal found that among a group of Facebook-using college students, it increased relationship jealousy coincided with marked use of Facebook. (For a satirical example, watch the Facebook manners video).
