Jealousy in a relationship can be like poison

It can kill a relationship. One should not suspect his/her spouse/lover too much. At the same time, if you give too much of liberty your partner may take the advantage and misuse it. So, how to balance between these two? Have you come across such difficult situations in your life? Any great ideas to overcome jealousy?

hello vijayanths! yeah its true...jealousy is really something that can ruin a relationship... sometimes, a little jealousy can be sweet but too much of it is like hat you said, a poison...a strong poison that can kill... i am once a jealous partner, and its really a bad feeling not only for my partner but to me as well...huh! but i try my best not to get jealous anymore, i mean too much...and i do it little by little and i see better results...i already have peace of mind and i notice that we don't fight anymore over nothing! you know, jealousy can make us paranoid! i think, its just a matter of trust & self confidence... and also the other party should also do their part re assuring their partners and let them feel that they have nothing to be jealous of...

Though self confidence is very essential in any relationship, loyalty is alos important. so both should be very sure not to cheat on the partner.

If you really love someone just put your trust to your lover and do not let your lover know how much your love is so that no abuse can be made.

Jealousy - Jealousy is the killer of a good relationship and communication is the key to solve the problem.
Jealousy festered our mind but it seems like people just torment themselves. I guess most people are facing such a problem, expecially living in a society full of competition, suspicion and pressure. As you have said above, it is wrong to suspect our partners too much, but on the other hand, if we give pur partners too much of liberty, then they may take the advantage and misuse it. It is really an insolvable problem. In my eyes, communication is the key to solve the problem. Through communicating with each other, then we can understand our partners are doing and don't suspect them easily. If we want to keep a steady relationship with our partners, communication and understanding are really helpful.

Relationships are the building blocks for our survival in this society.But these relationships can make anything possible.You know you can be a best freind to a person if your relationship is good or you can also be a good enemy to him if the Relationship is improper. No one dares to misuse your liberty(It may be sister/spouse/lover).If you really Love them.What matters is "How Responsible are you towards them".Are you close to them then how close are you?.Question yourself.am I neglecting them?.Am i giving what they are expecting from me.What every body wants is not merely earnning money and running house.Just sparing some time with your Loved ones.If you are a lovable person no one can leave you. First of all a human being should learn how to be human not like beast.Knowing ones heart and living in ones heart is the greatest thing a human being can do.And everybody should Learn to practice it. Relationships are really boon to us. If my discussion hurts any one iam sorry.But its the truth.

I guess putting trust on your partner is necessary, trust is earned it is not be given that easy. If you really know your partner you will trust them and believe everything they had said to you. But it is a different thing when you see them in your two eyes and you have a strange feeling that there is something going on. You can talk to them and you will feel if they are saying the truth.If you have proven that they are lying it will not be easier for you to trust them again. You always have the doubt of what they will say is truth or just alibis. Suspect them when you have no proof is wrong. If you trust your partner you will not be jealous, but if you prove something is going on that might hurt you you have to talk to your partner of what this had cause you. Maybe something is just mis understood. Everything that cause you to argue must settle before the day ends so that jealousy will not poison your relationship.

Hello, of course jealousy is always walk in the same path with you but it is really depend how you use it. sometimes you use it in the wrong way then it will hurt your relationship but if you use it in the right way then your lover might be love your more and feel like you have the same feeling like he/she does.

I have discovered over the years that I dont have time to be jealous. I figure that if I stop trusting my significant other then clearly we were not meant to be together. I told him that when I stop trusting and have to follow him around like Sherlock Holmes looking for the crook, then I dont want to be with him anymore. I trust that he will be faithful and keep jealousy out of our lives.

To be honest i don't know the statement is true or not. in my life i can not remember i have a jealous feeling or some one is jealous with me, to me it seems not exist. i think in a relationship love is most important. without love it could not last for long time. sometimes people thought they are in love, but in fact they did not so at last they seperated.
