Jealous and controlling Amber pushes Connor away
DEIDRE SAYS: It is true that when a partner is overwhelmingly jealous it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy and actually push the person on the receiving end away.
While Amber’s insecurities may have encouraged you to stray, you would have been far better off sorting out your relationship with her one way or another, before starting a new liaison.
Most people who struggle with jealous feelings have either been cheated on by a previous partner, or let down badly by someone in their childhood.
However, it is entirely possible to build up the trust in relationships with a great deal of reassurance and patience.
My support pack Understanding Jealousy will help both of you.
