Is jealousy always a bad thing if your with a partner?

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not a jealous person, I could invest a lot in somebody else and still be happy for them if they are in a happy relationship with someone else. I had one guy say I’m treacherous and disloyal cause I said I don’t get jealous when I like a guy. And I said a guy’s happiness is more important to me than the guys relationship to me. Later the rude guy who slandered me lied and said I slept with him to prevent other guys from being in a relationship with me.

Not always.. but it also depends the scenario.. usually it never turns out good though, unfortunately. We live in a world where people will say anything to make you feel bad.. like the guy who said you slept with him

Jealousy isn’t good. There is a point where things just go too far and it becomes controlling. Though if two people agree on certain boundaries that’s fine.


But. Cheating is a horrible thing

A little jealousy is healthy. It's when it consumes you that you need to have some self awareness and get it under control.

Jealousy (and the lack of it) is natural. I think either of those things begin to be bad only when it interferes with the relationship. Jealousy isn't an excuse to be a toxic person.

Sounds that he is deep down in the loop of jealousy cycle. He wants you to be jealous as much as he is jealous for you. He doesn’t want to be the only want “suffering”. I would say personally that a little bit of healthy jealousy is necessary - for example- I wouldn’t let a female flirt with my man in front of me and keep quiet because Its more of a respect thing. Also I would be unsure about my partners feeling for me if he is really indifferent about me being flirted with.

there are no positives with jealousy. it is a destructive emotion in its mildest forms.
Jealousy is a deal breaker for
me

If you are too jealous and it is causing problems in the relationship then yes it is bad. But I wouldn't want a girl to not even care what I am doing or who I am with.

Jealous is good to show other wise your partner my think your not caring or protective enough. Not the same as crazy jealous

[ChiTown33]

I would say it depends on the level of jealousy.

Generally speaking, jealousy is never a good thing.
