How do you get over jealousy with your boyfriend?

I get so jealous with my boyfriend over everything. If he talks to someone I think is really pretty, or hugs one of his ';girl'; friends, or especially watches a movie that has a sex scene in it. I always feel like he is looking for someone better and liking what he sees in those other women better than me. He has never really given me a reason to act this way, I'm just so terrified of losing him, especially to another woman. We have been together almost 3 years now, but we get in fights all the time over my jealousy problem (which has also caused me to become severely depressed). How can I stop feeling these horrible emotions and not worry about every little thing with my boyfriend? And please only nice, sympathetic answers. I can't help feeling this way, so don't tell me I'm stupid for being like this.How do you get over jealousy with your boyfriend?
:/ I have a friend just like you! You just have to realize that if he liked any of those other girls, he'd be with THEM, not you. But he is with you, and he loves YOU, not them. You've been together for 3 years, you need to start trusting him and know that he loves you, and you only. Good Luck! :)How do you get over jealousy with your boyfriend?
I think the real problem here is not jealousy, but low self esteem and insecurity. After all, if you believed that you were awesome sauce, you wouldn't be plagued by worry that he's looking for something better, now, would you? And the danger here is that your insecurity will CAUSE the problem- you'll get so clingy and needy that he really will look elsewhere. We can't let that happen!! What you need is a giant dose of confidence. Mostly confidence is attained by doing hard things and conquering your fears, thus proving to yourself that you are a brave and worthwhile person. You can also build up confidence by changing your look, or just telling yourself that you are a sexy, awesome person. And if you don't feel it, FAKE it until you do. Fake it til you make it, as they say. Good luck!
