I consider myself as person whose jelaousy is hidden. I never show my girlfriend I'm jelaous because I think of that as weakness. But I like when she shows me she's jelaous. Then I see she really cares. Should I show her that I'm jelaous? Do you show that you're jelaous?

I don't think jealousy is necessarily an indication of how much you care about a person - in many cases (not ALL cases) it's more an indication of how one person wants to POSESS another. I am not a jealous person by nature. I have my moments. My husband and I broke up briefly while we were dating and we both dated other people at that time - and the girl he dated still makes me see red a little. The thing of it is - I TRUST my husband. I have nothing to be jealous of. If another girl makes a play for him, it doesn't make me jealous, because I trust in his committment to me. It actually kind of makes me proud, that he's so attractive that others are interested in him. I don't expect to get all of my husband's attention or time, and I also accept that some of his attention and time will go to other women he is friends with, and I have no problem with that - it's not as though it happens all the time! He is no posession of mine and is free to do as he wishes. I can't stand it when his jealous side comes out - to me, it doesn't mean so much that he cares about me, it means he doesn't trust me, and that's upsetting. A little jealousy is healthy. A LOT of jealousy is not healthy, and isn't even about love - it's about control of a person.

I like this POSESSION thing. I also believe my girlfriend but I just can't control it. I mean that this feeling comes and after some time goes, not that I have some panic or even agressive reaction. :).

Well, that's different - everyone has that flash every now and then of jealousy. It's when it starts to color how you treat others that you have a problem - and it doesn't really sound like you do!

I agree with you and it's great to see a couple that has this kind of relationship. I give you kudos for being so mature about the relationship and to your ability to trust so completely. If only everyone did...

I think jealousy is a waste of time and just shows immaturity in the relationship and a lack of trust. I don't think wanting someone to be jealous is a good thing either as it can continually create friction and bad feelings in the relationship. I think that if you are dependent upon jealousy to make things interesting in the relationship then maybe you are not with the right person.

But I think that nobody can't control their jelaousy. That is a feeling that comes and goes. And when you are jelaous you see that you really care for that person, that you don't want to lose her/him.

I think jealousy is a human trait it just takes different levels in each person to start it up, I have been in the past but i do try keep it to myself, I think it is just a fear within that there is always better.

Well, I admit that I usually jealous with other girls especially if I can see that my boyfriend is really happy to be with her but not all the time, I am being jealous to those girls I don't know but for those who are also my friends, I don't... Sometimes, I showed that I am jealous but most of the time I don't because I don't want him to think that I don't trust him.. Oh well, sometimes it is better to show to your boy/girlfriend that you are jealous because it makes them feel that you really love them.. I think there is nothing wrong of being jealous especially if you really love that person but of course too much isn't good anymore.. I don't think so that showing to someone that your jealous will show that you are weak, it is just because you love that person so much and you are afraid of losing him/her.. I think if you show to your girlfriend that you sometimes jealous, then she will be happy because she knows that you really love her..

Its normal to be jealous, even children jealous each other for the affection of their parents. But sometimes you must be patient even in the small things, When I was in elementary school I have a crush but this boy is blocking my opportunity to chat with this girl, so we fight sometimes by insulting each but that was a child attitude of crush. I do not know where is the girl now.

I was jealous! but new I know that nothing can ruin a realtionship or marriage faster than jealously. Jealously creates anxiety, anger, loneliness, hate, fear. No one think clear when jealous. Havng a relationship with a jealous person is tough. Most people are not jealous by nature but jealousy is usually put in action by some event, situation or another person.
