Is Jealousy Healthy or Not ?

I think at one point or another we have all dealt with a person who is just unbearably over jealous.  Or maybe not because we are that person! There will always be those people that like that like to be attached at the hip and those who can't stand to be suffocated.

They say that jealousy comes from insecurity and to a certain point, it is true. But, there’s a fine line between being overly jealous and a healthy jealous. I think everyone would like a healthy bit of jealousy in relationship. For one, it shows that the person at least cares what you are getting yourself into. This is not the person checking your texts and photos to see if you’re being dishonest. They just want to know who you’re going out with; who’s gonna be there then tell you to have fun afterwards because there is trust.

This is the fine line that I was talking about earlier. A healthy jealous person trusts you, but just doesn’t trust the guys in the world cuz we all know how dudes are when they go out; on the hunt for some biddies!

The overly jealous person comes out when problems start. Everything seems to be the other person’s fault and nobody else’s. They are under the impression that they are playing the right role as a significant other. Which isn’t the case; the person is not supposed to act like a parent but they do anyways. They won’t let you out at times or at all. Anytime ya'll chill, they’re all up in your phone checking it, asking you who’s this or who’s that. But what’s the point of being in a relationship if you're going to have the other person on lock down, cuz little by little they’re getting tired of you.

If you’re one of these overly jealous people and know it, how happy do you really think you’re significant person is? Tone it down and they’ll get the point that you care and maybe they’ll feel like you trust them and who knows, it might even spark a new flame with you two. More trust equals more communication and better communication can only be good for the relationship in the long run.
