Jealousy inside a relationship normally falls into one of two categories: abusive jealousy and ordinary, insecurity-driven jealousy. You can identify an abusively jealous relationship by observing your partner’s behavior: does he or she demand to check your cell phone records? Does he or she scream at you, threaten you, or even hit you when you come home from hanging out with your friends?

When you’re in love with more than one person, it is important to make a few mental distinctions. First, are you in a relationship with more than one person, or do you simply love two people from afar? If the latter, are you just fantasizing about the possibility of being with one of them? If that is the case, you probably don’t need to worry that you have a problem: if a relationship develops, you’ll simply forget the second crush.

You had a fight, whether for good or not-so-good reasons, and now it’s time to pick up the pieces and move on. The trouble is, however, that you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips that might help.

Love is a force that acts a lot like the ocean: at times it seems stronger or weaker, but at all times it is shaping the world around it, renewing things and keeping things alive. You can best experience this phenomenon by observing your own significant relationships.
