My jealousy drove my girlfriend crazy

Not so long ago I went to a relationship therapist and that helped me so much that I would like to share it here.

I am 21 year old guy and my jealousy drove my girlfriend crazy. She was not able to do anything with her girlfriends without me wanting to know exactly where is was, with whom, for how long and whom she met.

She was about to end the relationship if I would go talk to somebody about it. That was the reason I went to the relationship therapist.

In just one sitting, so much became clear, so many things fell into place. So now I want to tell everybody: don't wait, if you don't manage alone, seek help and find out why you're jealous.

In my case it had to do with something I had experienced before, but mainly with the conclusions I had drawn from that, based on that incident. Made perfect sense back then, but didn't help me anymore.

I feel so relieved that I understand now why I did what I did. And my girlfriend too. She understands better and when I fall back into my old pattern of interrogation, she can just remind me. In stead of interrogating, I can ask her questions out of interest now. That feels very different, she says!
