Dear Diana,
I'm 25 and my guy is 27. I'm jealous and suspicious by nature. I feel insecure when he talks to a female pal or pays too much attention to his mom. I know I'm sounding weird, but that's how I am. I don't know how to bring about a change in my attitude.

Dear Ureeta,
With this kind of attitude, everyone and everything is under suspect for you. As you have a suspicious mind, you are always ill-at-ease as you are constantly looking for something you feel is amiss. You need to stop being paranoid as this kind of thinking can result in a personality disorder. Just because your guy speaks to a girl does not mean that he is having an affair with her. And if he talks to his mom it does not spell that he loves you less, There is space for you and his mom. This kind of behaviour will only end up irritating your guy. Stop being suspicious and seek counselling if you think you have no control over it.
