How does one get over jealousy?

Sometimes I get so jelaous over NOTHING. I've always been like this. I go through bouts of it as well.. sometimes I feel like i don't give a hoot and other times I only have to think of him with an ex girlfriend and im close to tears. I sound nuts but im not.. I can't be the only girl out there like this.
What helps?

I am no expert cos i am going thru my own issues but it seems to me your insecure in yourself and you need to get confidence.

Take a few minutes to get your head straight and ask yourself "do I really need to get worked up over this? Do I have a reason to be worried?"

If there's something in particular that is really bothering you, however, I think you should talk to him about it, even if it is just a silly little thing.

I think it's mainly because he never really compliments me.. and a few times when were out i've caught him staring at other girls. One time his ex.. he was just blatently staring at her and when i've asked what he's doing he just says that 'the female form is the most beautiful thing in the world' and he's allowed to look and basically get off his back about it.
It just makes me really anxious all the time..

We all know men look, but to do it blatantly in front of your b/f or g/f is just plain rude & pretty immature. Don't put up with that crap. Since telling him doesn't work maybe you should make a point to ogle men when he is right in front of you.
