Hi, I am in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend right now and I get jealous quite easily whenever she talks to guys. I am aware that this is a problem and I am determined to sort it out. Any tips to deal with this when it happens?

Have you been cheated on or had your trust betrayed before? Or are these newfound thoughts?

You don't want to assume she's being disloyal to you simply because of other male interaction. Not only is jealousy bad but a lot of the time it can make you become a manipulator and control freak.

If you're had your trust betrayed before it may be worth seeking a counsellor. You can get specialist help for that.

Otherwise if its simply out of the blue that's developed in your mind you're just going to have to learn to fight it. If she knows you're suspecting her of this it's enough to shake a relationship's foundations and put you both on a bad footing. However I will say it is good of you asking here since that does show some initial sign of wanting things to change to be on the right path.
I don’t think that’s a big problem. Maybe the fact that you aren’t with her is what heightens that jealously. My boyfriend gets jealous easy, so I’m assuming it’s sort of natural, unless there have been trust issues and breaking of trust in your relationship.

Had the same thing mate with my cat. Used to hate it when I saw him being stroked by other people.
