How do you find JEALOUSY, sweet or annoying?

During the first few months of my relationship, I find a little jealousy from my hubby sweet. Later on, when he still gets jealous over my old and new guy friends, I seem to get annoyed. I find it a gesture of lack of trust. How about you friends? Do you find jealousy from your partners sweet or annoying?

I really get annoyed. Like you say it, it is really 'a gesture of lack of trust'. More over it sometimes gets very irritating and a hard thing to deal with.

I can so relate with you, sagnik42. So what do you do when he shows his jealousy and you get irritated??

Well,first of all I am a male and secondly I am not married and do not have girlfriend right now. Now it is really hard to deal with jealousy.On one hand it shows you that your partner loves you and on the other hand it irritates you.I used to ignore her sometimes.There were no other alternatives.But it entirely depended on the situation on how to react.

Oops. My bad. I'm sorry. My question should've been, 'So what do you do when SHE shows her jealousy...' Yeah right, it would depend on the situation. Like if she's/he's been jealous over and over again with the same thing, even if you've already explained to her/him a thousand times and still gets jealous again and again, then that's probably a sign of 'lack of trust'.

in general, I would say unhealthy.Jealousy left to fester can cause a rift in the relationship.However,some couples enjoy a bit of jealousy,some like to see their other half flirting with other people and vice-versa-they think it is a fun game.Notice I say some.

Are you saying that there are some couples who would want their partners to purposefully flirt with other people?? How horrible is that..

jealousy is said to be annoying if it's already too much in a sense that you can already feel that the person you love no longer or does not trust you... it's sweet in a sense that they're doing it for the sake that they want to make you feel that they loved you... :)

I find it hard to handle. It is really irritating and you get into a fix trying to convincing your partner. It is all the more frustrating when your relationship with your partner/spouse is a few years old.

It depends on which cause he is jealous about me, yes my hubby too sometimes jealous about my social contacts and comments about it. It is really very annoying to hear and see him behave. I just ignore him sometimes.

I do ignore him sometimes too. But sometimes when there are issues not resolve, the tendency is the next time another issue arises, the previous issue is always raised up again!

Yes, jealousy could mean love. But when it's too much already, it really gets annoying.
