DEAR DEIDRE: Almost 10 years ago, I wrote to you about my relationship with an amazing woman.
I knew she was the girl of my dreams and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but I found it impossible to trust because I’d been so badly hurt in the past.
I was 28 then, I’m 37 now.
My jealousy was off the scale because I’d been cheated on by previous girlfriends.
Although I knew she loved me, I kept checking her phone, quizzing her about her movements and getting annoyed when another guy looked at her.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
I realised I was pushing her away and wrote for advice.
You told me my jealousy stemmed from my own insecurities and that I needed to work on my fears and find ways to deal with them.
You sent me your support pack about Jealousy and suggested counselling.
I wanted to update you. A decade on I am now happily married to that lovely woman.
I no longer have the issues I had when I wrote. With her help - and yours - I have overcome them.
Thank you!
