It takes effort but, if the person looks at the things inside him or her that cause jealousy, then they can work through them. You are not responsible for someone feeling jealous, they are. The good news is they will feel great if they work on what causes the jealousy in them. Then you won't have to worry about what you do because they will feel secure enough to trust.
Thanks for your thoughts. I really hate it when he gets down on himself, and he does it a lot. He's been cheated on before and I know that he's got issues with trust because of it.
