Uncontrollable jealousy ..... I can't help it... I duno how to control it and I know it hurts the man I love. I ain't jealous of material thjngs. Just other women. And I hate myself for it. I duno if it has to do with my PTSD or anything but anyone help me with this ???? Does anyone relate??? I feel like a freak so much so I hate the thought of my man havin a pic of Kelly brook on his wall for gods sake cos I feel am bein compared to xxxx

I have definitely experienced what you're going through. Now, I've been able to put things into perspective, which helps, but it doesn't mean that the jealousy magically disappears either. I know my partner has women whose beauty he appreciates, just as I have my list of men. He's also an artist and he draws women in fantasy and comic book style - which means accentuated bodies and perfection. That's not me. It took a lot of reassuring myself that he's allowed to feel attraction to other women because that's human nature, just as I'm allowed to feel attraction to other men.

Don't hate yourself. And don't feel that he's comparing you to others. Have you ever talked to him about the jealousy? Or is it simply that he's had to deal with it? A good sit down with him might help you put down on paper (so to speak) what your boundaries are - and he can do the same with you.

Low self esteem is a major cause of jealousy. Your man is with you because that's where he wants to be.
Kelly Brook is gorgeous, my man likes her too. I'm not jealous though, I used to be when I was younger. Now my self esteem is higher.
I still get wobbly moments, then I say my positive mantras over and over (I am enough I am always enough). Say them often enough and they work, a sort of brainwashing I suppose.
I gonna be *****y here so forgive me, but Kelly is not very bright and seems to struggle to keep men, so don't worry about her. I think men go for her looks but end up finding her too shallow then get bored.
Looks alone will not keep a man interested for long.
A very jealous person can drive a man (or woman) away.
If you are still struggling try tapping it really helps me!

Yeah I get a bit jealous too. It doesn't help when I can't help when I feel a bit attracted to the girl in question as well. Kelly Brook is a bit like eye candy though, but never forget that this is fantasy and we all have them

Not one, single person,,you consider, eye candy?

Jealousy, to such levels, can be debilitating.
