DEIDRE SAYS: JEALOUSY signals that you fear your relationship is being threatened by a third party.
It’s not always a bad thing and can sometimes make the jealous partner realise they have been taking their relationship for granted.
The fact Emma’s friend is gay has solved this initial crisis but be careful not to let the green-eyed monster take over – otherwise you run the risk of pushing Emma away with wild accusations.
Next time you feel anxious, rather than accuse Emma, let her know you are worrying and give her the opportunity to help build your confidence and trust.
My support pack Understanding Jealousy explains more and where to get help.
