why are you the jealous type? don't you love your partner? you should always trust your partner with everything you have... you are with him/ her... they are not... always show your partner that you are willing to let them be friends with anyone and that you don't worry about it... let them know that you trust them. if, you think they are doing something over board, just talk to them and let them know how you feel, so that they know that you are not jealous but just concern.

i really don't consider myself the jealous type . but i have a few times let my horns show...lol, like when other woman have openly flirted with my husband . i would not say it was jealously so much as it was rage. why because i love my husband and i consider him to be mine. and i do trust him . i do not trust some woman because some woman have shown me they can't be trusted. how ever i don't wonder where he is and what he is doing when he is out of my sight . and i don't worry that a woman might steal him away . so i would say no i am not the jealous type.

Some women cannot be trusted at all! I agree with you! It's not my man that I don't trust, it's the women in the world who concern me!

Both myself and the guy I'm seeing now are quite jealous.. We hate it too. lol I guess it's just because we don't see eachother very often,so we're always worrying about what eachother's doing.. And I worry a lot because all of the girls he's friends with are HUGE flirts and so I always get 'noo. don't leave me' when he goes somewhere. But I don't know, we love and trust eachother so I try not to make a big deal when he goesout even if it does bother me a little bit.

I am a jealous person but I have to say I am this way because of all the crap I had been through in my last relationship..The guy I am with now is not a cheater but he is having to deal with my jealousy because of my ex husband and the way he was..I know its not fair to him but I cant help it. I have a hard time fully trusting anyone after the way my ex was. maybe one day I will be able to quit being this way but for now its just the way I am.

I trust my husband with my life, but I've a;ways had a jealousy complex. Even little things used to get to me. We did talk about it, so he's aware and tried to help me get through it. I now stop to think before I say something because I'm jealous. I've had a rough childhood where it was tough to trust anyone, including yourself. When you've had this kind of life, it's hard to stop this complex from happening. I've just found ways to manage it. Is the best that I can do.

People who are jelous are the ones who dont recieve alot of information from their love partners sometimes they should talk about this instead of doing nothing about it and hope that it would go away on its own which it wont.

I don't really agree with this response, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, I will tell you that despite trust issues in my relationship in the past, we now have a healthy relationship due to communication. Communication builds trust!!!!

I am a jealous type of person but i really trust my boyfriend. I know trust is an important factor in every relationship. In my current two year relationship with my boyfriend, there are a lot of times wherein i got jealous and i sometimes don't know why. maybe also, i have some insecurity problems. Though im a jealous type of girlfriend, he still has the freedom to go out with his friends and do the things he wanted like his hobbies. Im not really demanding too much time from him and i dont worry too much. i do trust him but i dont trust the people that might be around him, thats my problem. im just happy because he always makes me feel that i am very special and hes still loyal to me up to this time.:)

The past definitely influences the way you are today. I'm a jealous person when it comes to my man, but I'm trying to overcome it. It's not healthy, by any means, but things happen. I am madly in love with my man, but due to the things we've been through, it's harder to trust. I can honestly say that I trust him about 99% now, compared to 0% about 2 years ago!
