Your Type
You think jealousy is nothing to be ashamed of and always frankly tell your partner "I'm a little jealous right now," letting the emotion flow naturally without piling up. This "unthinking emotional confession," though transparent, sometimes reflects your underlying avoidance of "taking emotional responsibility"; you fear that keeping emotions inside will hurt you internally, so you use "throwing the emotion at your partner immediately" to alleviate your anxiety, expecting them to soothe you instantly. But always relying on your partner to put out your fire of jealousy causes you to lose the ability to soothe yourself. Try giving yourself ten minutes of alone time next time jealousy surges, writing down what you are truly afraid of losing; when you learn to be the container for your own emotions, your frankness won't become a demand on your partner.
