Tony T Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Some people are simply very insecure and can't avoid those feelings. Some partners go out of their way to attempt to brings those feelings out in the other. If a relationship is tainted with jealousy on the part of either person for any period of time, in my opinion it should be terminated. There can be no jealousy between two people who love each other and who feel secure in the partnership. Link to post Share on other sites

niko1999 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I do wicked bad. I have gotten better about it though, but I know it has to do directly with ME, and my own insecurities. Link to post Share on other sites
turtle Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Jealousy? I used to get jealous all the time about everything. Now, I changed my attitude. Instead of caring about what I don't have, I focus on what I do have. Instead of getting jealous of what somebody else has, I try to be happy for them. Link to post Share on other sites
superd Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 jealousy? Well I have a brand new theory about this. I think that there is really no such thing as jealousy, it is a concept designed to fool us into thinking that people that are peices of crap are going to change or do something about it. What jealousy really is wishing somebody else will fail because you are too lazy to do it yourself. Thats why its jea-LOUSY, because only a lousy person can be jealous.

moimeme Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 That's what every cynic says. Doesn't mean that they don't have a real warped view of 'reality'. Link to post Share on other sites

dayfuller Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 jealousy can be a helpful sign that your partner is no longer respecting the sacredness of your exclusive commitment to one another (if that is what you have, if not why be jealous?). They could possibly weighing their options outside the relationship, even if only on a subconcious level, the significant other is probably very perceptive to picking up on these sort of signals, since in all reality, they are probably the same signals the partner used to attract them in the 1st place. In other words, one person may be overstepping boundaries that have been or should have been clearly communicated earlier on in the relationship in order to establish what each expects from a relationship and if feelings of this nature persist, maybe this relationship is not meant to be. my perception of the green-eyed monster today, tomorrow i may be wearing different colored glasses. dayfuller Link to post Share on other sites
