Chronic jealousy is often caused by being anxious about love and intimacy, that is, having an anxious-ambivalent style of attachment. Such individuals are constantly worried that their romantic partners do not love them and that their partners will eventually abandon them. But I wouldn't put up with my jealous life partner a jealous always destroys any relationship!

Been there, done that. It helps to let a jealous partner know that he or she can talk to you about his or her feelings; that you will listen to a partner’s fears and anxieties and try to understand where he or she is coming from. So, my answer is "Maybe"

Never put up with jealousy - this is a terrible feeling that sooner or later ruins relationships, as for me - when I notice that my partner is too jealous without any reasons I try to talk and explain everything an a law voice, if it doesn't help, sorry I'll find someone else :I

my girlfriend is very beautiful and knows how to get guys.. me and her get on so well and have been in a relationship for 2 years. But every guy she talks to, i get this feeling inside that she has feelings for them as they make her laugh and sometimes make sexual quotes about her. Lots of boys have liked her in the past and she has admitted she liked them too. (not while she was with me) She will hide her phone if i go over to her, lock it and change the password so i dont go on it. I wouldnt go on it if she wasnt acting so suspiciously. The last time i crept up on her to hug her from behind i didnt realise she was on her phone and she was texting about 3 guys and talking sexually and being fliratious with them

hey, Danniel! Well if she has been texting and speaking to other boys sexually when you are in a relationship with her, SAY SOMETHING, thats not getting jealous thats being curious, i'd be too if my boyfriend was texting other girls sexually, if she carries on I think breaking up would be the best thing to do, but thats just me, but seriously, say something..

Disrespectful I wouldn't put up with it. At end of day it may be harmless fun and she may just love the attention but how would she feel if shoe was on other foot. If she can't respect yr feelings move on.

She's showing a lack of respect for you as her boyfriend. From what you've said she sounds like she's using the others, including you. End it now!!!

In my experiences I was extremely jealous of everything the guy did. And he knew it, so he played on it. So, if you really love this girl then do the same; act like something is going on and don't care what shes doing. And as soon as she says something about what you're doing then tell her about how you felt about her when she was talking to the guys.:)

I have a hard time to deal with jealousy. I get jealous when I see a loving couple. I get jealous when a girl sings so beautifully in chorus or a man that is great at playing the violin. Basically, I am jealous of things that I want. It is a constant source of my depressed state. Of course, this is not the kind of jealousy you've asked about, but anyway I do suffer from it!

Dear Frank! I used to have a major problem with jealousy too. But as a christian i believe that we should not covet others or their things. but just find out the talents you have and use them. Write a list about things you like about yourself. It helped me!

I think you should put your energy into to trying to get what you want rather than resent people for having acheived what you want. you will feel so much better about yourself and have more respect and admiration for people on the same path as you.

There are different kinds of jealousy, some of them are destructive, some of the make us improve ourselves and move further. I you are jealous about something other people possess or achieve - just do something and stop moaning!!!

I would not be dealing with jealously. Either you fix you, or see if your current BF or GF will change his flight plan, or find one that are equally clingy. Jealously is a learned trait from a low-self esteem. Humans are not inherently jealous creatures, but can become if the situation is right. It goes hand-and-hand with issues like aggression. The environment they are in makes them, and this is why you are not happy.

I use to be a jealous person. I know the feeling. I would get mad if my friends even looked at my girlfriend weird, or at her boobs. After years of growing up, lost in love, finding myself, right now I have nearly zero jealous reactions. It no longer bothers me when I see the same thing with my wife now. It's a bit more liberating.
