How do you keep jealousy at bay in your relationship?
Cupids Advice:
Your relationship seems to be pretty strong, but every once in a while you feel your partner gets jealous during nights out. Here are some ways to avoid the jealousy bug and keep things good between you:
 1. Avoid your ex: Your ex boyfriend is still in your friends group, so of course you see him from time to time. Dodge an argument with your new beau by keeping conversation with your ex to a minimum. Be polite and make small talk every once in a while–make sure your new love is always by your side when talking to your ex. This way, he doesn’t feel like you are doing it behind his back.
2. Keep your eyes on your man: As a single women on a night out, you would scope the room in search of cute guys to flirt with. Now that you are taken, it is time to let go of your old ways. If your man sees you looking around and staring at other guys, he of course will be jealous. Focus on your date at all times. Make him feel like you don’t want to spend the night with anyone else.
3. Don’t flirt around: Having so many guy friends, it can be hard to tell the difference between flirting and joking around. Your new love is not used to the friendly relationship you have with some of these guys and interprets it as flirting. Be more cautious of the way you act around other guys–even if you know they are just friends.
