How to not be obsessive and jealous in a LDR?
Jealousy and obsessive behavior are the surest ways to sabotage a long distance relationship (LDR). By their very nature they are harmful and toxic traits, especially when imposed upon another person.

When you are involved in a distance relationship, you have somewhat fewer options of communicating with your partner than usual, and the most serious drawback is lack of “face to face” communication. The usual mistake the many people in LDRs make is that they use the precious time they manage to find to communicate with their loved one, only to spoil it with negativity which eventually threatens their long

Whether that time is on the phone or in person, don't waste it. Don't spend your entire hour-long phone conversation lamenting about how much you miss one another, and how much you hate long-distance relationships. Those kinds of things can be brought up from time to time, but don't dwell on the negative. Instead, focus on enjoying the time you do have together. Talk about your plans for the future, or even just the little things that happened to you throughout the day. Focusing on the negative will make your relationship feel like work instead of joyful and fun, and that will be a quick mood-killer. Sometimes it's hard to let go of the sadness, but make an effort to help one another see the good things in your relationship.

My boyfriend and I havent really discussed jealously or boundaries. Ive been very faithful to him and he isn't the jealous type which brings some relief since two of my friends are guys, but they are both gay anyways.

sounds so easy. my boyfriend is a south african, I'm an american. we talked about our 'boundaries', and basically he decided you don't hangout with people of the opposite sex when you're in a relationship, because there's no such thing as a man who wants to be solely friends. sounds unhelathy to me, especially while i'm watching our relationship go to scrambles since he's getting more suspicious each day. i'm not doing anything behind his back!!! i love him. i wouldn't do a dirty thing like that.. but try telling that to his imagination. :/

Jealousy is one of the worst emotions i have. I know its not logical and i know its immature but i can\'t seem to get it to go away. I need serious help dealing with it because i know im a jealous person and i have trust problems.

What do you do if your with someone that is flirty but you love them. Do girls flirt sometimes just because they need to feel like they are still attractive? What to do if they like to talk to other guys. What if i logged into their face book and found out they were talking with people about love over the internet and if it is true that you could find it. And telling them what they are looking for in a guy. How do you deal with that without going crazy. And why are you crazy enough to log into their face book in the first place. First step is seeing your crazy right? Then how do you fix it! Scared of getting hurt makes you do things to protect your self, but it's not right.
