Ralph has been my boyfriend for 7 months. I know he’s loyal to me, and even when we’re not together, I trust that he doesn’t do anything wrong or anything that would upset me. He’s a basketball player at our campus, and he’s really good at it because he’s always the MVP during games. I’m very proud to be his girlfriend, but I can’t help noticing that there are girls who approach him and talk to him. I feel jealous whenever I see him talking to other girls. Maybe I’m afraid that someone might steal him from me, or that he might become attracted to another girl and leave me. I don’t know how to control my emotions.
How do I deal with jealousy in a healthy way?
