Jealousy can have a negative impact on a relationship. How can jealousy be contained?
What will be an ideal response?
Jealousy can be contained by trying to improve one's own self-image, by turning it around into a compliment (not "she's flirting with other guys" but "look at how lucky I am—other guys also find her attractive") and by trusting one's partner. Communicating with your partner about your jealous feelings can often help to maintain your relationship (Guerrero & Aff, 1999). Opening up and talking about your uncertainty about the relationship or reassessing the relationship can help restore and strengthen the relationship.
