Hi, Do you think jealousy is proof of love or just because the hubby considers the other as property ?!

I honestly believe that jealousy is an ugly emotion which stems from insecurity and lack of trust. A person could only enter into a relationship armed with trust and faith in the other person. Excessive jealousy can destroy a relationship. It will be hard to constantly reassure the other person that he or she is the only one.

It is definitely exhausting trying to "prove" you love the other person.

I guess it's normal sometimes to get jealous as it adds spices so they say in a relationship. However too much and excessive display of such emotion is unhealthy and poses threat to any relationship. And to the extent of treating the other one as "property" not a loved one. An overly jealous partner tend to rationalized his jealous actions as act of love and protection. But real love knows the difference between obsession and freedom. In fact, in some extreme cases true love means letting go of the other if it's a one-sided love affair.

I do not think jealousy is proof of love. I personally think it comes from insecurity.

I totally agree I don't think that jealousy is proof of love, if anything it is insecurity, control and distrust. I don't like jealousy in relationships and I am trying to keep it from entering my thoughts.

I think jealousy comes from insecurity. If someone is insecure and not confident in themselves, they will always be jealous, because they are sure that they can't hold onto what they have, and yes, in a way, that makes the other person a "possession".

I think it's a normal thing as in many lovers one of them tries to know what the opposite one is doing so as to be protective and also to be upto date about there lover. Ya sometimes they get much of jealous which is bad..
