Security in a relationship begins with transparency. When you have an understanding of her involvement with other people, there’s really little to no room for doubt or jealousy. You don’t have to worry about her friends at work or that one guy who keeps calling her on the weekends because you know what role they play in her life. She happily shares other people in her life with you and contributes to your feelings of security by providing answers to questions you might have. It’s normal to feel jealousy from time to time. If your girlfriend addresses this by actually listening to your concerns and telling you more about these relationships, it’s that much easier to trust that nothing funny is going on in the shadows.
