Jealousy of Partner´s Coworkers

It´s easy to be jealous of your partner´s coworkers. Your partner is spending tons of time with them, maybe eating lunch with them, maybe going on business trips to fun places or working long hours on projects you don´t understand. A large part of your partner´s life is being spent with others, and it doesn´t involve you.

Since for most people work is a necessary occupation, you need to find ways to feel more comfortable with this. If your own relationship is sound, your mate won´t be tempted by those others he meets. Don´t torment yourself over those ´other people´ - just concentrate on what you and your mate *do* have. Build your relationship into a strong, solid one, and you won´t have fears that it could fall apart because your partner´s new coworker is young and attractive.

It also helps to learn more about what your partner does, to become, as much as you can, a ´part of this world´. If you can, go out to lunch with him/her sometimes, or go to corporate functions, or just learn about the projects. The more that this becomes ´your´ world too, the less threatening it will seem.
