The way I think of jealousy is desiring something that does not belong to you. I think possessiveness or defensiveness might be mistaken for jealousy. A feeling of admiration or appreciation are also not the same as jealousy. To me it is a false emotion

Jealousy is the fear of being replaced by someone else. Its the reason God can be jealous, we as humans cannot. God fears us replacing him with something else which is our free choice given to us.
Envious is wanting something someone else has. Don’t confuse the two.

People are insucure and they are selfish.
Jealousy is a terrible thing. If I have a friend that is female my wife is ok with that. As it should be, and I am ok with her having male friends. Just because we are married does not mean that we can no longer choose who our friends will be.

It’s basic animal instinct. If you have a cat or dog, watch it get jealous from time to time.
It is normal to get jealous when someone is making a play for your spouse.

Jealousy is a feeling. Not a pretense. Good jealousy is when a married man starts to look at other women or vice versa. Bad jealousy is when a person can’t control their fears about their partners devotion to them. I watched an episode on Dr. Phil the other day where a man was terrorizing his fiance because he couldn’t control his fear and wanted to know her whereabouts and her doings every minute of every day. She was flattered at first but this is a HUGE RED FLAG. In the end he was knocking down her door and ramming her car to try to control her.

it also depends on how jelouse you are and if you do have a reason.if you have reason you are not supposed to stay in a relationship.

spices up the relationship.but it can also be considerat a desees.

El resto del tiempo, tienen que ser infeliz y si son felices durante demasiado tiempo que creará problemas para usted, por tanto, temporalmente sensación mejor que usted. Tan triste!
