So what do then? Here we have some tips how to handle your own jealousy and live your relationship in a confident fashion way.

Let your partner do whatever she/he wants. Give your partner all the freedom she/he wants. Don't complain when she/he goes out with friends. Smile when she/he says she's/he's going to have lunch with her/his old boyfriend or girlfrind. Encourage your partner to go out alone. Proudly display your confidence to your partner.

And know that Acting Confident in the face of these circumstances (which make most people especially men jealous) will actually draw her/him to you. By doing this, you're essentially turning a negative personality trait (jealousy) into a positive personality trait. This is a powerfull way to show your partner that you are a self-confident person.

You should welcome these types of situations and view them as opportunities to display your confidence to your partner... and to draw her/him closer to you.

The Expressive skill and the Empathic Responding skill are at the core of all Relationship Enhancement discussions. The Discussion skill provides the framework in which you and your partner use these two basic skills to explore a specific issue in your relationship.

The rules for the Discussion skill are simple:

1. At each point in time, one and only one person is using the Expressive skill, speaking subjectively and including underlying positive feelings; and the other person is using the Empathic Responding skill, listening carefully and at appropriate points responding empathically to what the Expresser stated.
   
   
2. Roles are periodically switched (using guidelines that will be explained later), so that the person who was the Expresser now becomes the Empathic Responder and vice versa.
   
   
3. The Discussion phase continues until both persons believe they have expressed all of their most important concerns, feelings, and thoughts about an issue and they believe that the other person understands these fully.
