Jo and Jay - how growing jealousy is affecting their relationship
Jo and Jay have been together for 6 or so years and have just had their second child. Recently Jay’s new promotion has meant they travel interstate a lot and socialise frequently with clients. Jo has begun to start checking Jay’s social media many times a day, and a few times even checked Jay’s email account as a growing sense of suspicion and jealousy has been taking hold - more and more with each trip Jay takes. Jay has said over and over again that nothing has ever happened with anyone else, but Jo is unable to be convinced. The have started to argue more frequently and be quicker to get angry with each other than ever before.
Jo might be helped by:
Strengthening they understand what is in their control and out of their control, and gain more of a sense of acceptance of the unknown.
strengthening their self confidence
Learning new communication skills
Being clear about the relationship they want, and, what is in their control to help make it happen.
