I get jealous seeing my spouse like and follow all sorts of accounts on social media. How do I handle it?

Social media easily sparks jealousy because we only see fragments without context, so be careful before drawing conclusions. Ask yourself whether there is a real reason to worry, or you are just building a story in your mind. If something really is wrong, discuss it calmly and specifically, not with accusations. Agree on shared boundaries about online interaction that both of you are comfortable with. Spend less time checking your spouse's accounts, because it feeds doubts, not peace. Build trust through open conversation, not spying. If the jealousy keeps haunting you, talk to a counsellor. See relationship psychology.
