Feelings of jealousy always appear to stem from one's sense that something about their life is not secure, e.g., is uncertain or in danger.
In some cases, the insecurity is not founded on realistic dangers to the relationship. If that is really the case, then you (the jealous partner) may wish to consider where your insecurities are coming from. Solving those sorts of insecurities isn't easy, but until you do you'll continue to face those feelings.
Since we tend to become more secure in relationships as they become more stable with time, you may find that time is your ally in dealing with jealousy.
There are things you can do to mitigate or help existing insecurities. There are things you can do to avoid insecurities before they happen. The latter things tend to be cheaper and more effective.
