Symptoms include extreme paranoia, or sense of distrust over someone like your partner. Whatever it is, it is not easy being in, and unhealthy as well. What could be the reason for that? Has he/she ever cheated on your before? As for me, I am rarely jealous. I trust my partner with all my life. In fairness to him, he also makes sure he doesn't break that trust. I know he has admirers too but that's not a reason for me to be insecure. If he will fall for another, then he isn't for me. Im not saying it will be that easy but in time I will realize that I deserve someone better.

It's good that you make it clear to him that a boy's night doesn't bother you at all but dishonesty does.

No he never cheated on me but i feel like i'm not that important in his life. i caught him planning on having happy hour with the boys but he never mention it to me instead he lied saying i was making things up. i don't mind him seeing his friend as long as he is honest and doesn't forget that he has someone waiting.

For me, I have found when I am feeling jealous it is because of one of two things, or both: my own insecurity or a lack of trust. When jealousy seeps in, I ask myself if trust has been broken, if not then I ask myself where am I feeling insecure and why. In any case, I place the blame on myself, not on others, respect my feelings and repair them if needed, changing my reaction to the circumstance in which I felt jealousy creep in. If another has violated trust in our relationship, repair it if at all possible, if not then I move away from that relationship.

jealousy is a very bad thing. If you can not trust your partner, you shouldnt be with that person. It will eat you up and your partner. Ask yourself why, and work on that .

Hi there Curious Play 54! I used to be very jealous especially on the first couple of years of our marriage. After that, it lessened and I am now proud to say that I am not jealous anymore unless I have a perfect reason to be. I think that after I got over jealousy and after my husband did too, we now have a better relationship.

Im a very jealous person, even with my friends i can be really jealous most of the times. Like when my bestfriend is not around and i saw him or her going out with someone else something inside me is jealous i dont know why. Thats even worse when my girlfriend is not around, and ive known that shes out with someone else, i just cant think quite right when i feel jealous even if i try to calm myself its pretty hard for me.But at the end of the day if i dont calm myself i will just hurt myself and might as well fight with my bestfriend or girlfriend with the way i act or the way im jealous for something that i should not be jealous at all.But even though i admit im jealous i am also trying my best to change and to understand other people's needs too .

we ladies sure do like to get attention from your partner. I'm not that possessive but i don't like him hanging out too much with all his single friends who act like young teenagers.

In a relationship there will always be a Jealousy, specially when you really love the person so much. Most of the girls has this symptoms, we tend to think a lot of things and make our mind paranoid. Thinking in what our partner been doing, or whom he talked to. But we must have the trust in that person.
