Is it really a sign of true liking? If jealousy isnt there, does that mean the liking isnt there? Or is it that some people believe in you way too much to get jealous of potential “threats”. I personally think jealousy is cute and the lack of it is a total drab.
Re: Jealousy
Jealousy is ugly. Jealousy is connected to a lack of self respect, a lack of self confidence, and a lack of confidence in your partner.
Re: Jealousy
ouch witchdr, :D But isn't it natural, I find not being jealous a little odd. It's a natural emotion(for the lack of a better word).

Re: Jealousy
Jealousy is cute smetimes but it can lead to Possiveness......
Re: Jealousy
I agree with Shararti Bachi...jealousy can lead to possessiveness...
If you have feelings for someone your inclined to be slightly jealous...its a natural thing and it shows that you care...thats fine...
But when you start to get possessive and start questioning someones every move etc...then its more a case that you are scared to lose your partner...its gone from something nice to a big insecurity complex...so like witch dr says its a sign of a lack of confidence and can really destroy a relationship...
Also insecurity of this kind can happen because the person isnt a good partner themselves...one friend of mine...her boyfriend was cheating on her with two different girls...so if he can do it without her knowing then what stops her...
In short a little jealousy is nice...it shows that she cares...but it can be real damaging...and iv seen it damage a lot of relationships...People need to become a bit more secure and trusting of their partners and these problems wouldnt arise...
Re: Jealousy
witchy i was really jealous of a guy at skool.
that was i guess the first n maybe last one...... but still i don't know why???
Re: Jealousy
If you KNOW your partner wont cheat, betray you, etc...then why would you get jealous?
And if you think they will, then why are you with them?
Re: Jealousy
I don’t see anything wrong with a little jealousy every now and then. You may have confidence in your partner but it only shows you care and don’t approve of others staring at or hitting onto your partner. In short, you want them all to yourself 
Most times the other half really appreciates this as it shows you want them. In fact protective jealousy (gheerah) is acknowledged in Islam also. Its only when one gets over protective and jealous of others that you can question their insecurity and confidence in the relationship.
Re: Jealousy
Jealousy is a preemptive response and is not necessarily connected with how much you know about your partner.
There are plenty of other natural emotions as well which do not have a place in CIVILIZED world anymore.
Re: Jealousy
I forgot the names, it was a while ago when I read it somewhere, also forgot where. But there was this type of jealousy which is ok: if someone is very devoted to saying all prayers on time or knows many surahs by heart or something like that, you can be jealous at that wishing you were like that too. That's positive jealousy, I forgot the proper word, sorry.
Otherwise serious jealousy can be poisenous. It really can destroy peoples lives.

^Jealousy is different from aspiration.

I think you're thinking of territorial behavior.
Re: Jealousy
i'm talking about jealous love ........??????
Re: Jealousy
Its fine...I like when girls are little bit jealous and worried where their b/f are going and doing...it just shows how madly you are in love with them etc. but if it turns into obsession and untrust then there is a serious problem.
Re: Jealousy
hmmmm jealousy can occur outside love...it proves nothing....
