its normal to be jealous because we love someone. but its not good if your jealous is high i mean you cant control it. too much jealousy result for big mistake decision. when you love someone you cant afford to lost your sacrifices "relation" try to adjust to your partner and talk about some problems. be open to your love one. i am sure that's the better way for your problem.

Just like any other feeling we have, it is just the same as feeling of love. The thing is, jealousy only delivers us negative feelings -so it's just normal. But if we can't or don't know how to handle it, then it might eat us up and maybe do foolish things that nobody ever thought one could do. I guess all you need to do is, learn how to control your feelings. How to turn negative thoughts in a more helpful manner, after all, we all experience this.

when you feel jealous, it could mean that you lack the security needed in the relationship that you are in. aside from that, it is also a result of lack of self esteem. you tend to be jealous because you are not assured whether your partner will love you still even if he finds someone far much better than you. but the comparison is only based on your view,always remember that your partner chose you over the hundred of girls because for him, you are simply the best. that alone should secure you in your relationship.

hi edlene, jealosy is normal if we loved somebody however our responses to it will depends on the maturity of our trust to our beloved and of course the degree of our relationship. I am also a jealous person towards my boyfriend but I slowed it down especially Im reaching 26 now and he is already 33. I know our age is no longer on "fling" stage but to the altar. But before you achieved it you have to laid a foundation to your relationship with your boyfriend so that the conflict of jealosy is not an issue to you.

Yes, jealousy is very common. I will admit, I have been victim to feeling jealous over someone else before. The most I can do is tell myself that no one else is worth it [even though that is very conceited and I hate sounding conceited, but it does help]. A lot of times, you can also talk to your partner or boy/girl friend about it, and you'd be surprised at how they'd understand exactly what you are feeling.
