Some
important points:
·
Jealousy
eventually can be very destructive to a relationship so it’s important to
prevent it from heading out of control, especially since you both have a
tendency to become jealous.
·
It
can range from destructive rage to an uncomfortable feeling that can stifle the
development of a relationship and the pleasure you feel when you’re together.
·
The
different types of jealousy you and your partner feel are not uncommon. The
concern is more about how much jealousy plays a role in how you relate.
·
Does
this mean your relationship is doomed?, of course not. But it does mean you need
to be aware of motivations for your behavior and how jealousy may present
itself between you in your relationship, if you want to change it.
Men
and women usually feel jealous in different ways:
- Women are more likely to
acknowledge jealous feelings and men are more likely to deny them.
- Women are more likely to become
upset over the emotional involvement of her partner with another, whereas
men are more likely to focus in on the sexual aspect(s) of the
relationship or any sexual tension and attention his partner has with another
(or is perceived to have).
- Women also more often blame
themselves when a conflict over jealousy arises, while men typically put
their jealous feelings on to a third party or their partner’s
behavior. - Women have been shown to be
more inclined to deliberately provoke jealousy than men. This is often in
a reverse attempt to bolster feelings of self-worth by gaining attention (good
or otherwise) directed squarely at them from their partner.
- Plain women are always jealous
of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied
with being jealous of other women’s husbands
- Jealousy certainly creates
attention in a relationship but often of the wrong,
unhealthy, kind. - A little bit of jealousy can be
managed in a healthy relationship, but if you and
your partner are both the jealous type, be aware of how big a role it plays in
your relationship and make sure you base your connection on a solid stable core
and not one easily eroded by the green-eyed monster. - It certainly is possible to
overcome jealousy in a relationship, but you both have
to be dedicated and open about how it manifests in your relationship. - Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but
too
much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening.
Never love and get into a relationship unless you can bear all the faults of the one you
love specially being irrationally jealous for some reasons or even becoming jealous for
no reason at all.
