How do I stop feeling jealous when my partner spends time with other people?

Mirabai knew something about longing—that ache when love feels scarce, when you're afraid of losing what matters most. But she also learned that devotion isn't about possession. It's about depth. Jealousy often whispers a truth we need to hear: you care, and you're afraid. That's worth examining. But here's what Mirabai discovered through her own freedom: the more tightly you grip, the less you actually feel. Start by getting curious instead of reactive. When jealousy rises, pause. What exactly are you afraid of? That they'll love you less? That you're not enough? That's where the real work lives—not in controlling their time, but in understanding your own story. Then ask yourself: can I trust this person *and* trust myself? Can I let them have a full life while I have mine? This isn't about being cool or uncaring. It's about recognizing that the love worth keeping is the kind that doesn't shrivel when there's space around it. Mirabai's freedom came from loving something—someone—without needing to own them. That paradox is worth sitting with.
