Is jealousy okay?

being jealous is human nature. just don't let it consume you.

I think jealousy in itself is a negative trait.I don't think in a relationship there is any scope of jealousy.Jealousy comes from insecurity & mistrust & if you are secure about yourself & your relationships Than there is no place for jealousy.True love does not vouch for jaealosy.If you really love & not compete you cannot have jealosy .This is what i feel.

Jealousy will find it's way out as the understanding is coming in.

i do believe that jealousy is not okay..it is a characteristic of a selfish person..just try to be yourself and be what you are..

jealousy is ok as far as it does not hurt anyone just by suspecting something is going on form their back..sometimes we need jealousy in order to know what the real feeling we have for our partners..its not all because of insecurities on why we feel jealousy..its just have to come on the right way, if you get jealous make sure that there is something to get jealous at and its not just all assuming..partners may like us getting jealous because they feel that we really love them..some may not if the jealousy has no sustaining evidence to get jealous with..so it depends.

it is okay since we are human, we have emotion so it is ok to get jealous. . .

As long as jealousy is going to contribute to your upliftment, increasing your creativity and for better life, it is welcome. But there are kinds of jealousy which spoils your mood, sends negative signals to your brain and every step of yours become faulty. As you said some degree of jealousy is ok.

well it depend on the intensity of jealousy..if it is too much then not good..but if its like a salt that makes the relationship stronger then why not...coz i believe jealousy is part or a trait that is inherent on us as human being even on animals they do express it ..

In relationships like love there can be little jealousy.but it needs to be under control as this may grow along with the relationship and brings insecurity.

I trust my husband with all my heart but I have two accaintances that arent really girl friends of mine they know my husband more then I do...They make me jealous.I dont trust them is that wrong? They are not in a relationship. Should I worry? My husband always thinks im accussing him but its not him.Its them.

Being jealous is normal but if you take it seriously without valid reason. . .that is the time I say it is not good. . .

getting jealous is normal, all people get jealous... but is ok! the most we can do out of this feeling is just feel it... whats not ok is where this feeling of jealousy would end up... if it would end up into something unhealthy, then thats where the problem starts to pile up... but if you simply get jealous, then after doin some talking and with your love one, then go... kiss and make up! sometimes, the being jealous could spice up relationships...

Being jealous is part of human nature. At some point, we were really jealous. I believe it is important in a relationship. It made you secure that your partner never wants to lose you. But jealousy must not and should not be a ground for arguments and relationship quarrels. Yes, it boosts my self-esteem when my partner gets jealous.

I believe that jealousy is completely natural, same with being slightly possessive. To me, I see it as a way of dealing with competition. You don't WANT your 'mate' to get stolen by another, right? So when another person comes along that could threaten your relationship (too flirty, whatever), I think people naturally get jealous. Which makes them then DO something about it, rather than just sitting back and letting that other person possibly steal your mate. So a bit of jealousy here and there doesn't bother me. Shows that my guy (if I had one), wants my attention/wants to keep me. If he never showed any jealousy then I'd assume that he didn't care if I got stolen away by another man...

I think jealousy is not at all okay in any aspect. It is formed from inferiority complex and (doesn't)ends up in more inferiority complex also! It reduces the most effective side of personality of any person. In relationship, jealousy is not at all okay. Thanks.

A will have to agree that little bit of Jealousy in a relationship is natural and would be termed as OK. I feel, it a natural human tendancy to feel jealous...when one feels that he/she is being igonored and the other fellow is being more importance than him/her....by his lover...than jealousy factor comes into picture. Feeling jealous is a sign of insecurity also, I think.

everyone have some sort of jealousy for other!Everyone feels jealous about something, it is a normal human reaction, It is just a problem when it is something abnormal!an equal balance of trust and jealousy is for me the best form.approaching a problem with a mature steady solution than obvious jealousy tends to work better in my opinion.

There will be no jealousy if a relationship is perfect. Both of you trust and accept each other. You are now together. So there is no room for jealousy. Jealousy may create problems and unhealthy relationships. Better to avoid it.

Jealousy is a very natural phenomenon and some do take is as a compliment, it makes them feel wanted, but excessive jealousy shows distrust and I don't like that. Trust is very important in any relationship so for me jealousy is like an insult to my trust.

Jealousy is basically a feeling which has its roots in love, so to a sudden extend i would say a little reasonable jealousy is in order. If instead of controlling/obsessive/possesive, you can youse your jealousy to express your love for your partner. IE doing them small things that you know he/she enjoys to sort of make the folus stay on you. :)
