Jealousy in a relationship, is it unhealthy?

Blind jealousy is definitely unhealthy to a relationship. A healthy relationship needs justified jealousy. In the example that you gave above if the partner gets jealous just because another female gets close to her man then that is blind jealousy. This is the sort of thing that can lead to paranoia, and possible breakdown in the relationship. If the man does something for the female then the woman should voice her concern in a diplomatic way. This is justified jealousy, because the woman should be his priority, not the newcomer. all the best, rosdimy

Jealousy is an emotion. Having emotions is all part of being human. How you deal with this emotion is what matters. This could either make you mad, conscious, or this could lead to a better relationship with your partner. Even secure people feel jealous because they are human beings. Do not let this emotion be kept inside you. Let this emotion be known to your partner. She may not know that you are feeling that way. Talk about it before it gets serious.

Hi there, One thing you stated is ture, "Every one has his/her own limit and if some one crosses that limit he/she will definitely get jealous", i think Jealousy can be good and can be bad for a relationship, depends on how you control it. A little jealousy can show your care to your partner, too much and too often can hurt the feelings.

I think that jealousy in a relationship is good but when the jealousy is not so much!!

yes its 100% true, never be with somone who does not have the respect to trust you. and for the balance, they is not one. The male trusts, respects, loves, and cares for his woman and if he does this the woman will do it back :-)

a little jealousy in a relationship is healthy. for it's always nice to know that someone is afraid to lose you... :)

Jealousy in a relationship is healthy to me. As long as the individuals don't take it too the extreme. When your jealous to me it shows that you really care for the other person.

Jealousy if not to much can be healthy, it makes one exert more effort in a relationship!:)

I think jealousy is perfectly healthy for two people being together, while they percept the danger of third party interception. That is the way I am going to interpret it. You might want to defend your territory, and not allow strangers to step ahead. It is what you have to to do as human nature guide you through your brain. Would you agree with it?

Yes,i think it is not wrong for any couple to get jealous.Dont get jealous mean we dont care our partner or one day we will lose him to other person.But i dont like to get jealous too much because it will destroy our love realationship.Maybe we should just get little jealous to let the relationship become perfect.

jealousy when its over is not healthy. sometimes people basis for loving someone is when they get jealous over someone who get closer to you partner, which is not. Because jealousy will never ever be basis of love. There are people who dont get jealous because the are so sure and secured with her feelings and his feeling toward each other.

That's controversial. It is natural for a woman to feel jealous if she finds some other woman close to her man. The balance can only be maintained by deep understanding of each others. I agree, there is a limit till we don't feel jealous but this can be overcome by understanding, as I feel. Suspecting your partner always weakens the relation!!

If you are married to the person, you have a right to be angry, not jealous. If you are not married, you do have a right to be jealous.

it is ok for a person to get jealous once in a while, but if a person is constantly in the zone of wanting what other people have or like then thats just not healthy, also theres no reason why people cant talk/flirt to other people if there married, thats what speaking was obviously intended for, talking to people and sometimes hence, flirting with people.

to some extent it is natural, and it definitely varies from person to person....its not that someone may feel insecure or lack of confidence and maybe jealous due to that....buti feel that the feeling of love is naturally attached to jealousy, it can also be due to too much love and the fear of losing is intolerant...its natural feeling and it depends on the partner how comfortable he makes the other one, to be at rest....

Well, I don't think jealousy in a relationship is unhealthy. As we are ordinary people, we tend to have a possessive instinct of a good thing, even a good partner. If my partner gets too close to his female friends, I'll definitely be jealous, and I think there's nothing wrong with me. My jealousy on the other female shows that I really care for my partner. If a person says he/she isn't a little bit jealous, I prefer to believe that he/she has no true feelings for his/her partner. However, as to the example you mentioned, I can't agree with you. "A man may be loving truly his partner. At the same time if some very attractive females get close to him, he may stumble and lose his morality. " According to my thinking, if a man truly loves his partner, he should never think of having a close relationship with some other women. If he is easily attracted by other attractive females, I just want to say I despise such a man. He doesn't deserve the love of his partner. To be in a relationship means one should be faithful and sincere to his/her partner under whatever circumstances.

i think everyone should jealous if their partner close to someone else, but each people have their own limit and reaction for their jealousy. and i think jealousy is one of love sign. Jealous will be negative in our relation if it limits our partner life, i mean we have to makes a rule in our relation including about borderline for our activities with other peoples.

For sure it is unhealthy when the jealousy is over! Happy MyLotting!

I am a person who is secure with myself. But I also get jealous sometimes. We really cannot help it because jealousy is human nature. I don't think it is wrong to get jealous once in a while as long as the jealousy is reasonable enough. For example, I get jealous when some girls text my boyfriend flirty or sweet messages that is just not proper for a friend. I then tell my boyfriend my feelings about that so that he will know. The good thing is my boyfriend doesn't flirt back.

Jealous in a relationship is a balancing act.. I was married for 8 years, and I didn't feel like I ever got really jealous about anything... I felt as long as I stayed true to my vows my ex husband would do the same.. Man I was in a fantasy world.. Then in my new relationship I got extremely jealous, I didn't like my current bf hanging around other women at all.. It drove me more crazy then him.. He understood that I was just worried because of what happen in my marriage.. He cheated quite a bit.. Finding that out just about killed me, even though the relationship was over.. Anyways.. I think if you talk to your spouse about it even once and a while is okay.. I guess it just keeps the two of you on the same path, and not end up veering in the middle.. but if you end up talking about it all of the time, your spouse could veer off just because of the fact you assume that she is cheating.. The bottom line is trust.. How much trust you have in a relationship is very important.. If their is a lack of trust, jealous comes into play.. and that can over all kill the relationship. This goes for all types of relationships not just between you and your spouse.. It could be with anyone.
