Hi, everybody. Thanks again for tuning into my podcast today. We're going to be talking about the fear of getting cheated on. And so if that's something that you struggle with in your

0:21.7

relationship, this podcast is really going to help you. And this is for women who get jealous

0:27.7

in their relationships, who are constantly worrying about their boyfriend cheating or doing

0:32.9

things behind their back when, and for this podcast episode, we're going to assume that he's not doing

0:38.6

those things and that it's really coming from a place of insecurity and how to confront

0:44.5

that security and solve it once and for all. So the first thing to ask yourself is if you're

0:52.1

afraid of him cheating on you, what would it mean about you if he did

0:57.5

cheat on you? And I want you to think about that. Like, why would he cheat on you? What would

1:02.7

be your reason? And I don't mean like, of course, we know he cheated because he wanted to, but what is emotionally the reason why you think he would cheat on you?

1:16.3

And so, by the way, this topic is like really personal for me because I struggled with this so much and I've always been really jealous in relationships.

1:25.7

And it took a lot of self-help work for me to stop feeling jealous

1:31.7

and to confront these insecurities. And so I know for me personally, when I thought about him

1:38.6

cheating on me, I always thought that if somebody else was prettier than me or better than me in some way,

1:47.1

that would drive my boyfriend to cheat on me. And so basically, my answer to that question would be

1:53.4

if you cheated on me, that would mean I'm not good enough in some way. I'm not pretty enough,

1:59.6

not funny enough, not interesting enough. Something was wrong with not pretty enough not funny enough not interesting enough

2:01.7

something was wrong with me and that's why he cheated on me and so if that is your belief it does

2:09.1

make sense um because you think well if I'm the best in the world, like if I'm, imagine if you're the most gorgeous,

2:20.4

beautiful, intelligent, noble prize-winning, kindest, funniest, funniest, funniest, comedian,

2:27.8

successful, rich person in the world, why would a guy ever cheat on you? He already has the best

2:34.0

thing out there.

2:35.8

And so that's kind of like what that thinking comes from, like the underlying belief that
