This is something you are obviously going to have to get over. You can't have a good relationship with him while you are so jealous.

You are right that he has to see her but you need to have a strong sense of self-esteem and trust too.

See the following website for further information:

This will get you on the road to recovery if you read it carefully.

Good luck! George
