4 Love Lessons You Can Learn From The Sister Wives - Part 3

Lesson #4 Overcome jealousy

"But jealousy for us, is an opportunity to grow…Jealousy for me is about insecurity. I've had to grow up and say 'I have a lot to offer, I'm an equal partner here.'" — Janelle Brown

We've all experienced jealousy in a relationship, that fierce feeling inside that just wants to scream. Whether you've had a boyfriend who still talked to his ex-girlfriend or maybe he had a really good "girl friend," you might have found yourself feeling like you wanted to rip her head off. Well Janelle is right, jealousy is about insecurity and fear. And that ugly green monster won't help you in any type of relationship.

"Jealousy can be about fear of being replaced. I think the only way to overcome that is to look at your self and ask 'why am I worried about this? What am I worried about in myself that I'm letting this other person undermine me?'" Langley said. "If you are cool with yourself and doing the things you want to do and fulfilling yourself, you are going to worry less."

And what do you do if you come across a Kody-aspiring man? A dude who's too cool to be tied down to just one chick?

Let him go.

Dr. Carole Lieberman, psychiatrist and author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets, said to follow the footsteps of the future princess Kate Middleton.

"One of the things she [Kate] did was when William wanted to go out to clubs and was dancing with other woman, the average good girl would have whined and sulked. Instead, Kate let him go," Lieberman said. "Then she started being seen with other guys and he came back to her. He realized he didn't want to take a chance on losing her. That's an example of something that a woman can do with a man like this."
