How to get over being jealous

I always find myself getting jealous when he is messaging other girls because idk what is being said. He doesn't like me being jealous and neither do it. How can I just control it

Things have happened before with him messaging others and I am just scared it'll all happen again... I want to trust him but I do not trust them at all

I can relate, I am the jealous type, like extremely jealous,I'm not the one to blame my past for anything, but sadly for my jealousy I have too. Jealousy is the fear of loosing someone you love, most will say, ohhh don't worry, if they really love you, there is no reason to be jealous, they won't leave, trust them... what mist tend to forget is that jealousy is NOT only related to a partner, In my case, I was abandoned at a very young age by the one person on earth I should trust the most and that should never leaves me deliberately, my own mother, she left me at the orphanage at 3yrs, turned and left, never came back. After that I was abandoned by so many people, if not physically then emotionally and mentally, that I developed what's called, the orphan syndrome, it can be cured if treated young and early when diagnose, but if not, the sequel are permanent. In my case it's permanent. Even if I trust one with my life, the fear of loosing them overpowers it, no matter what I try or do. Sometimes it can calm down a little,but the smallest little thing can trigger jealousy to raise up. And Even I know I'm the only one my jealousy can hurt, cause most the people in my life or that have been in my life are not jealous at all or don't believe in jealousy.. I can't sadly help it, and as weird as it may seem the fact that they aren't jealous at all, doesn't help as it's like they don't care or mind if they loose me.. I know it's all in my head, I'm trying really hard to work on myself, but it's who I am

Good luck
Sounds more of a "trust" problem. You should talk to him.
@KeKeNae95: I discovered anxiousness that had never been there before... I was not going to start taking medications due to an asshole that did not care enough about me to make me feel secure in our "relationship". The relationship was doing me more harm than good.

I broke up with him last Saturday.

That's great that you were finally able to see and do that. This has my anxiety high too, and I get mixed things to do with this relationship. How long were y'all together?
@KeKeNae95: We were together for a bit over a year. I started noting "red flags" a few months after dating him... But I would always find an excuse for his behavior and my negative thoughts.

Leaving him seemed impossible... took a lot out of me. But, I feel free. Peace of mind is priceless.

Jealousy kills relationships because it becomes suffocating over time. And that is why I suppose he does not like you being jealous.
Of all the girls he speaks with, he chose you to be with him. He could have chosen any of the others but he chose you. So what if he talks to them? They're just people at that point.
Jealousy says more about your insecurity than his trustworthiness, unless he has given you reason to not trust him. So I suppose you need to work on your issues in building confidence in yourself. He is probably as scared of losing you as you are him.

has he done something for you not to trust him messaging other women, how often does he message these women, are they good friends or just random women, have you met any of them, has he talked about any of them, are you feeling jealous cuz of him or from past relationships? do you have a good reason to feel this way or is this just all in your head? try too figure out why you feel this way.

get yourself a man you don't have to worry about... if he doesn't like you being jealous, he shouldn't do things that he knows would encourage it.... have confidence in yourself. heck with him. find someone you can trust.

If "he" refers to your boyfriend, you should discuss what messaging other girls includes because often, that's how they get side hoes and all that, I see it all the time in college
Why's the girl the "hoe" if [i]he's[/i] the one cheating ? I never understand that reasoning...

Never understood that kind of jealousy, at all. Never felt it in a relationship, ever. Openly flirting with someone else or something, that hurts. Talking to other girls? No problem.

Some of the messages are kinda flirty. Especially if he complimenting them on how they look....

You're his and he's yours and those other friends that are girls know this yeah!? So then jus remember the only thing you have control over is you. And trust in him as I'm hoping he does you..
Learn to be comfortable with yourself. As long as they do their part to make you feel secure.

Jealousy is at its core the fear of losing something to someone else, in this case your partner's love. Logically speaking, if that's not a possibility, there's no reason to be jealous. Why does he message other girls ? Is it business or job-related, or are these platonic friends ? Would he be as accepting if you messaged other men ? These questions to consider.
WhatShallIcallyou · 51-55, M
These are good questions. My bit to add is if it is totally reasonable that he is messaging those girls (like his sister, or work) and there is no flirting type behaviour, perhaps you are an anxious connector type. Have a look at this http://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/ub/ for a bit of an explanation.

They are girls he's met over the internet to talk to when he's bored or when they're bored. He compliments them, and actually talks to them and tells them things he won't tell me. They always seem way to flirty to just be "friends"
