Shaming Your Partner’s Jealousy? Karma May Come For You!
Have you ever thought "Wow! I would NEVER get that upset/jealous if I was in your position!" only to get that upset/jealous when the situation is reversed?
When I work with clients, it’s usually the case that different parties experience different levels of jealousy or different triggers. But sometimes, their triggers are exactly the same – it’s just that they’re in different situations.
It’s important not to shame your partner for having emotions, and to hold space for them while also honouring your own boundaries and needs. It’s not okay or productive to make them feel guilty or wrong for experiencing normal feelings. Especially if you would respond in a similar way if you were in that exact situation! Show up with them in a way that feels good to you both, so that they can do the same for you in return.
