Was married 27 years to a woman who was not habitually honest. Its not that I was jealous, just that I avoided many life opportunities I would have enjoyed because I did not trust her. Learning to dance and enjoying it!

After all the good, human stuff, growing up, establishing a career, finding that special person, raising good kids, paying off the mortgage, do you find yourself wondering, what the hell is the point of everything? I don’t have an answer, and I’d like to hear other people’s thoughts.

Never had, never going to be... Never in my life I owned anyone. My lover is not my posession or is forced to feel owned by me. Sometimes caused problem in relationships, specially the latino women conditioning of latino men been Uber Jealous and Possesive. I am just cutted fron a different cloth. My Sentimental Interest is always Free to walk out of my life... alone or in someone else arm, it is her life.

I am somewhat jealous, but when I was young....I was over the top so. I am glad it has decreased.

I have never been affected by the green eyed monster so NO i'm not jealous and I feel sorry for people that do

1

I like to think any jealousy I have is healthy..I won't get upset if my woman has male friends or any of that.

No, I find that jealousy is a precurser to abuse either mental, physical or emotional abuse. To be jealous is a sign of posesstion, immaturity, lack of self, feelings of inadiquicy, and a lack of self confidence which to me are serious flaws that stunt a ones growth as a person. I believe in the buttefly idium I you love someone set her free if she loves you she will stay.

No. Jealousy is a sign of insecurity.

Yeap

I used to be. Or perhaps "envious" was a more appropriate term. Less so as I've gotten older and realize the things I used to envy in other people I can have for myself.

Maybe when I waa younger I might have been a littel bit.

I think jewlousy springs mostly out of one's own insecurities. If you value your self worth based on other people, as in what they think of you or how they treat you,, then you are also more likely to be healous.

If your self worth is based mostly on how you think of yourself, you are less likely to be healous.

Not one Iota...

The only reason for jealousy is lack of trust. If you have complete trust in someone, there would be no trigger for jealousy. And if there is a lack of trust, there are bigger issues you should be concerned about.

No, I would never fight over a man's affections as I think it's very immature and I have more confidence in myself than that. I believe if the person I'm with doesn't want me, then someone else will.

To be Jealous or not to be Jealous
Jealous do you gain anything
There is a lot of energy used - working up getting upset, getting stress, feeling unhappy- which then lead to illness,then you are spiralling downfall into a abyss. Can you lift your self out it depends do you have the strength to lift your self out
What can you do to overcome jealously
Not jealous do you gain anything
You be a better person you move on you try to learn how he achieved it,If he can do so can i.
Instead being jealous try new avenues- I am divorce too I have not see my kids or my dog for the last 5 years. Yes I can be jealous too but what will I gain I instead text my ex and she send me photos of which I am grateful for.At this point of time thisis the only avenue I have time will heal and hopefully one day I will get a chance to see my kids . Instead of being jealous work on it learn and understand what it takes to removes that jealously bit or part. I envy people with boats/cars/houses
But instead of being envy of this phsycial things I will grattitude that I am free and I can do whatever I want to do like climbing Everest which I did last year. But I can work towards getting the cars/houses but he has to work pretty hard to climb everest
Hope this give a small hint side of life.

Some jealousy is good. But there's a limit like most things.

I'm jealous of folks who have their kids with them all the time. I get mine on the weekends in the school year and summer break.

Only if I am given a reason to be

Not really but in my youth, I have been and it consumes you so not good at all. if someones going to do something, they just will, especially if you keep treating them like they did something wrong.

I'm far from jealous, I'm comfortable with myself.
I was told that usually jealous people are insecure.

they are

1

NO

I'm very jealous of people here who are at a higher level than me

@irascible I'm a jealous guy but also a slacker. That is a bad combination

Nope! There's no one on earth I'd rather be than me. If my romantic partner shows interest in someone else, that is fine, as they likely have wonderful and admirable qualities too. I can usually also admire her too, if she is known to both of us.

There is a point however, that they may cross a line, shattering an intimacy commitment or hiding their activity, lying about an indiscretion, etc., and then it's still not jealousy, but simply time to cut him loose and let her (or they) have him.

I'm a prize, but not for lying cheaters. If a fella can't act honorably wiithin our relationship, then he loses out. The other gal/s can be the "winner/s" and that is fine with me.

yes. of others achievements, posessions, happiness, everything.
