There’s a reason for their behavior

The question becomes: Is it actually about those women? Or is there something deeper going on? 💡 Is it possible both women have the same “problem”?

Jealousy Relationship Games

Jealousy is often a complicated emotion, and for some people, it can act as a motivator to fight for a relationship they feel is being threatened. However, not everyone operates from that perspective. For someone like me, jealousy has never been a defining trait. It’s not in my nature to let insecurity or fear dictate my reactions or decisions.

And for me, that’s a dealbreaker.… Read More Jealousy Relationship Games
