How to handle a jealous boyfriend
In relationships, a little jealousy can be healthy sometimes for it can be an indication of your love for one another. However, if it goes over-the-top, it may feel smothering and suffocating that the best you can just do is end the relationship, because who needs that kind of treatment anyways? But if you love this person too much, and can't let him go, you can do positive things about it and we've listed them here so you may have an inkling idea how to deal with him.
1. Be sweet to him
When he starts to get jealous, do not get mad. Instead, be sweet to him. Do things like smile at him, reassure him of your love, that you would never betray him, and the likes. If you get angry each time he gets jealous then you're only wasting your time and energy as it will lead to more fighting.
2. Show your love in many ways
There are a million ways to let a person know that you love him. So when you're with him, try to show him that you love him by cooking him meals, or make him a cup of coffee, massage him, do his laundry, and anything that requires physical touch. This way, he'll feel valued and important so he is secured that you won't leave.
3. Reprimand him if you have to
When his jealousy strikes over a petty thing, tell him outright. Don't be a martyr who's overly patient with his pettiness. If you don't corrrect his shallow thinking, he is likely to do that over and over again and trust us, it's exasperating!
4. Avoid things that make him jealous
Men are usually delusional--they think the worst of every situation. What provokes their jealousy may be the way you dress or the way you talk with your male friends. So it's best to put some boundaries in your actions. Don't show too much skin, and don't get too familiar with your male friend.
5. Remind him you're not like his ex
If your boyfriend came out from a relationship filled with infidelities, you can't blame him for lashing out on you. What you can do is show him that you're not his ex, that you're far better than what she did when they were together. Reassure him of your love, loyalty, and faith.
6. Talk over your problems
Have a sit down and talk through things that you both feel with each other. The more you open up with each other, the less the insecurities will kick in.
