5 ways you’re driving him crazy — and how to stop

Sometimes we take a perfectly good relationship and drive it off the cliff. Hindsight is 20/20, but wouldn’t it be nice to have some tips to avoid some potential deal-breakers? If you’re guilty of any of the behaviors below, you may be to blame for
wrecking things:

1. You’ve been acting like a green-eyed monster.
It usually starts out innocently: You overhear a phone call with a female voice responding, and your mind starts to wander. You should probably ask who’s on the other end of line, but don’t want to sound nosy; so instead, you end up inventing a scenario in your own mind that makes sense. Perhaps it’s his ex-girlfriend, or someone he works with that has a crush on him. Pretty soon, you get the urge to spy on your guy — and find yourself checking his email and texts when he’s not around. Once this green-eyed monster rears its ugly head, it’s pretty hard to ignore. Now, he can’t even look a waitress in the eye without getting a glare of jealousy from you. Next thing you know, your man finds out that you’ve been reading his texts, and it’s “game over” for your relationship, because he doesn’t trust you anymore.

How to stop doing it: The best way to curb feelings of jealousy is to take a deep breath and relax any time you feel that monster’s voice starting to creep up on you. Next, put your trust in your partner. Know that he is on the up-and-up. Whenever you get the urge to freak out with worry: Stop, take a deep breath, relax — and try to chill out. Let it slide, because soon, you’ll see that your partner is being honest and your fears were totally irrational.
