Any one who is jealous can be said to be suffering from low self esteem according to Rene Godefroy. Relationship Jealousy is usually viewed as a vice by many people. In fact, it is always discouraged. However not everyone who is jealous has a case of severe low self esteem as Rene Godefroy puts it. We all become jealous at one point of our lives and its all about controlling this emotions. You should never allow it to control you to the extent that you cannot trust your partner enough to let them out of your sight. Its a natural feeling that when you love someone you would want them to spend more time without you and sometimes when they don't it becomes a reason to become jealous. With time, you even spend less time with your friends and more time with your mate, which is good but avoiding your friends will actually not help you much.

Overcoming Relationship Jealousy can be easy. First and foremost you have to work on your self esteem. As much as you think it has nothing to do with it in relationships it does. When someone doesn't think and feel better about themselves they will always become jealous of the people around them. For example, if your boyfriend or girlfriend spoke to a person you thought was far much handsome than you or beautiful, that would be reason enough to be jealous. You will have it in your head that your partner is talking them only because they are better than you. You will even stop believing your partner is with you because they love you and they want to be with you. No matter how many times someone tells you are good if you do not believe it in the first place, you will not be convinced. So work on your self esteem

Be satisfied with what you have. In order for you to rise above the Relationship Jealousy feeling you should become satisfied with what you have. If you do not have something you can work hard to achieve it instead of feeling jealous about some other person who has what you do not have. A feeling of not having enough can make someone become jealous of things they think the other person has better than them.

Lastly trust your partner. If you trust your partner you will find it hard to be Relationship Jealousy. Whenever you trust your partner you will not feel jealous whenever he or she makes a stop to talk to a friend. You will know it in your heart that you are the one he or she loves and the one they would like to be with. Even if they went to talk to the most handsome man or woman you will not be shaken. You can also make a conscious choice not to be jealous and with time you will yourself becoming less and less jealous until you get rid of this negative emotion.
