One partnership killer is jealousy in relationships. Usually this is due to trust issues. However, there are several deeper factors to this issue. Some of them are scarring experiences, communication breakdown, lack of self-esteem, and insecurity. It's important to nip any jealousy problems in the bud as otherwise they can become quite problematic.

Talking with a mental health professional or specially a couple's shrink might actually help put back to together a rocky relationship. An outside party listening might allow a flowing and civil talk between partners. The most important part is to make sure there is a line of communication open.

Sometimes a person's past can be horrible, and can create insecurities between both partners. It is important to share these experiences and be honest about how they may have effected the relationship. Sometimes abandonment by a past partner may be the cause, so it is necessary to share this fear in case it is still occurring.

In any kerfuffle, digging up past experiences and slinging the situation as a comparison to the current relationship is a big no- no. This behavior will create more problems. It is important to be calm and as collected as possible.

Sometimes self-esteem issues can be a cause of jealousy. This emotion stems from inadequacy and needs attention from a professional psychiatrist to work it work. The relationship cannot go on until the person lacking the esteem can accept him or herself. Once this is accomplished, they will feel confident about loving another.

A lot of these problems are caused by past mental pain. Although it is not done out of spite, in the heat of an argument, this past pain can be thrown in the face of the other partner. It is important to get over the hurt and move on.

One of the biggest things in a good partnership is trust. By trying to focus immediately on the issues causing jealousy, and taking the steps to fixing those problems, any relationship can finally grow.
