Most of us have experienced jealousy at some point in time.
You may have come across a jealous partner or felt jealous while in a relationship.
You may dislike the behavior of a jealous partner or be able to empathize with it.
However, we have all at some point in time realized that jealousy ultimately destroys a relationship if you allow it to overcome your emotions.
Jealousy is not a natural emotion that you are born with.
It is something you learn to use as a response to a situation.
When people are angry or emotional, one of the ways they give vent to their feelings is by being jealous.
Jealousy is not a consistent behavioral pattern.
You may be insanely jealous in a relationship while you may be perfectly secure with another partner.
The reasons for getting jealous could range from suffering from low self esteem to feeling rejected or betrayed.
When people are insecure about the way you look, they sometimes react by getting jealous of someone whom they consider better looking.
In every relationship, a small dash of jealousy is normal.
In fact, this small dose of jealousy keeps the excitement in the relationship alive.
However, at no point should you think of jealousy as a symbol of love.
When jealousy overpowers everything else in a relationship, it becomes psychotic in nature.
This is followed by your partner staking out your house, keeping an eye on your whereabouts, cracking your email account and other such unreasonable behavior.
When you reach the point when your partner begins to suspect you even if you so much as say a word to someone of the opposite sex at a social event, you know your relationship is in trouble.
What people often do not realize is that when they exhibit such abnormal behavior they actually turn their partners away.
They unintentionally end up destroying the very relationship they have been trying to salvage.
In fact, jealous lovers hurt their partners due to their malicious and unfounded behavior.
In order to deal with jealousy you need to recognize the problem and then discuss it with the other person.
Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up, let your lover know how you feel.
In most cases you will feel comforted as soon as your partner calms you down.
If you are still unconvinced, try going in for therapy which is an expensive but effective option.
