Why am I so very jealousy?

I understand the fact that guys are naturally beauty-appreciative.. They are easily get attracted to girls specially when the girl is very attractive and pretty.. So I don't really understand myself why I'm acting this way.. I don't think it's insecurity, and I don't think I'm running out of trust to my partner either. I trust him so much that's why we've been together for 10 years now. Do anyone here experiencing something like this? If so, please share your stories.

What you feel right now it's very normal and it happens to all the person who's in love very much to their partner. I am married too for almost 7 years but there are time that I got jealous to my husband friends and co-workers but without telling him because I do not want to cause any misunderstand,or to ruin their friendship just because of my jealousy. I know in my heart that he might close to his friends or co-workers but deep inside his heart I am the only one and it will never change no matter what.

Some people are born jealous ! It is not because that they are insecure but it is like innate to them. No matter how she controls her jealousy , still it will be prevailed unconsciously . She is jealous to anything and everything. I am not an exemption to this , i myself can say that i am born jealous. I am jealous to all things that gets connected to him and to all people who gets near to him. Even a simple Retweets could be a source of my jealousy. I know it is not good , i used to control it but no matter how you tame yourself , it will really get its way to reveal the real self. The good thing in here is i really verbalized too him that i don't like that certain thing because i am jealous and will just tell him , sorry baby i was born this way..

I have a few times but in my strongest relationship. I never had a problem with telling my girl that another girl looks beautiful. And the same goes for my girlfriend telling me that another man looks handsome. To me when a relationship reaches such stage you can see that trust is really involved and you trust each other to always be faithful. When I think about your situation, I start to ask myself when last did your partner tell you that you are really beautiful. Just out of the blue he just says it. Sometimes it s just the working of life. You see. Hearing you are beautiful day in and day out, so frequently might start to feel annoying. At a time like that you would prefer for him to stop saying it for a while, just a little. In that same period, since he haven't told you for a while, he mention another girl is beautiful or such then you might feel uncomfortable. Maybe it is because it has been a while since you have heard it for yourself even though, he usually tells you everyday. The way you describe your situation though, it sounds as if your boy friend is faithful. So i don't think you should worry.

When some one is in love; he/she wants to be possessive always, jealousy is common factor. Thanks for this discussion.

Just stop and think about it. Why are you behaving jealously? There is a reason and it has more to do with you than anyone else. I always got jealous when my husband let women fawn all over him. I felt disrespected by my husband. He should have avoided these situations but he enjoyed the attention. I felt angry that he disrespected me and our marriage. I didn't behave in a jealous manner but I did tell him I didn't like it.

I do have some moments of bouts of a small jealousy like that but it doesn't go far from there. My husband makes sure that I am secured in his love that moments like that seem so petty and not worth to get worked up on. Besides, my husband doesn't have that wandering eye so I guess it's all in my head lol! A little jealousy in a relationship can be healthy. It's nice to know that someone is scared to lose you.

the roots of jealousy where being afraid to loose him/her, pride, insecurities and kind'a doubt in your partner.. if you feel this way, it's okay, it means that you are afraid to loose this person as long as you will not jealous for unreasonable moment. sometimes jealous makes you prove that he/she really has space in your heart that you can not denied... I still remember, i get jealous when my crush play a joke with other girls while he makes me feel that i am special.. errr... i hate that kind of situation.. i really assumed that there something then after i get over my feelings, i realized that it is just his nature to play around...

It is but natural that boys always like to have the beautiful girl as their girlfriend and of course their life partner too. But keep in mind it is not the beauty that matter always but one behavior matters the most. Don't get jealous even you will find the right person of your choice.

Yeah we all must admit that some person may be attractive. And it can make us feel a sense of jealousy because we want their interest to be focused on us and how attractive we are. I don't experience this too often unless my husband talks about a particular person (usually a celebrity that he thinks is hot) often. I know there are many women who are just absolutely beautiful and there is no denying that but I want my husband to compliment me often as well.

Sorry but I do find it a low excuse to say men are naturaly beauty-appreciative. You truly believe women are not? Women love to hang around with ugly men taking badly care of themselves? You really think women are blind if it comes to that? It's just the excuses men use to not make you feel worried or worser find an excuse if you tell them they neglect you. I think if you are really that jealous there is an other reason for it. Observe your partner if possible more objective. I doubt you trust them that much, if so you wouldn't be jealous at all.

I don't know about you but insecurity is the major root of jealousy. If you feel jealousy then you might still have some insecurities left.

I am a jealous type as well. When it comes to my man I do not like it when others are trying to get close to him. When I have my man, I want him to myself only and want him by my side always. If he goes out I always get worried and want to know who are the people that are around him. lol I know that my way of feeling is wrong.

I think it's not wrong to get jealous sometimes. It's just normal i think. Just be honest with yourself. If you felt jealous, it's ok. You're not alone, i also feel the same sometimes. Actually, it's our fear of losing the attention of the one we loved. But, as long as you know that he loves you, there's nothing to worry about.

its very normal to be jealous,but even we admire a good looking man as long as it stays at that.its bad when he pays compliment about how good or how much better that person is or if he shows that other woman he fancies her yet he is with you that's disrespectful.infact a good man will admire another lady discreetly.as long as its just to please his eyes its normal and should not worry you but if he over does it tell him it hurts you.
