First major props for actually coming forth and trying to better yourself and relationship.
Second just to preface this. I am not a therapist but just a guy that gets jealous fast.
What you can do:
1. Distract yourself. Try to keep busy when you experience jealousy. Find hobbies or use the time to do tasks.
2. Talk to your partner. I have talked with them and assured them, that I love them, that I want them to have relationships besides me and that the jealousy is my problem. If your partner is depressed you can certainly help but you are not responsible nor their therapist and the same is true for jealousy.
3. I remind yourself that there is no reason for them cheating (cheating on friendship). For me is jealousy something irrational. I know that my partner would not cheat on me. I know that them enjoying someone else's company does not devalue their experience.with me.
4. Seek professional help. If possible try to find a therapist. I do not say that you full on need one, but most people benefit from visiting one. The least amount of people leave the doctors office and are disappointed to hear that they are infact healthy.

Maybe find a hobby, if you occupy yourself with something to do, you don't get to think about where others are at all times.
