been married for over 10 yrs. and wife is and has always been the jealouse type.
I've heard several different answers as to why she's jealous, also several on how to make her feel loved.
Some occasions merited her jealousy, several others not. What to do?

I myself, am a jealous person to some extent. Sit down and talk to her about her jealousy and that it's causing problems with the two of you. Maybe she will understand that it is her that you want to be with and nobody else. I think alot of jealousy stems from either past relationship problems or a lack of self respect. Alot of my jealousy stems from past relationships.

I know if you have full trust in your souse and are getting your needs met, one shouldn't feel jealous. It's an insecurity problem that stems within her. Maybe having the wrong up bringing of not feeling important or special to her parents is the key. Do you make her feel special and number 1 in your life? How compassionate are you when she is down and out? Being interested and listening when required is a major. I know men say there listening, but most the time their thoughts are somewhere else. You need to complement her when she looks nice also be honest at all times with your feelings. Communication is a big one because this is what keeps couples happy in a relationship. Opening up to each other will make your lives so much more interesting and you'll see changes like growth in a good fashion before you know it. Hope this gives you some in site on your wives problem.

If you have given her "occasions" that merit her jealousy, then you have created the problem.
If you really loved her then why the "occasions", knowing that she was the jealous type to begin with?
Men, they never seem to take responsibility for what they have created, and what they have done to anothers self esteem and image.

my husband is jealous too. Extremely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and it just drives me crazy. The worst thing is that because of him, i"ve become kind of the same way. Not as much. Ask your wife if she lived any specific situation that might have drove her into jealousy. Probably the answer will be positive. And then, just make her see how different is your marriage from whatever that her situation was. This, should do.

Women are, for the most part, insecure beings who are always jealous of other women. That is the way it has always been. If she is overweight or has no significant income of her own she is guaranteed to be insecure and, of course, jealous. It could also be that you spend too much time at work, watching the game, or not giving her her due in the bedroom. Guys tend to need "me time" more than women. They tend to need more "attention and romance" from us. I suggest that you romance her more often (diner, movies, conversation [women really crave to chat]). How about a cruise--this is a relationship restorer! Remember to tell her that you love her and kiss her often.

If there is only one occasion to merit jealousy, then I doubt that she trusts you. Hence, she will continue to be jealous.
You can choose whether you wish to put up with the behavior (which sounds pretty reasonable) or not.

If you ever cheated or something like that then that is why she is so jealous and she has every right to be, but if you never cheated then all I can say is some people are just that way. Try explaining to her that she has to trust you or the relationship is going eventually end.

I surely was once...yet i'm ultimately in a relationship the place i've got self assurance he loves me as much as i admire him! i for my area may even sense comfortable teasing him approximately how lots he gets hit on at paintings! :-) (he's a cafe supervisor, & a fabulous, candy one at that! i understand he has workers w/ crushes on him, & that he flirts back at situations w/ purchasers...it rather is all area of the activity. Then he comes homestead to me!!! woohoo!)

She needs to get some therapy....maybe even couples therapy. That would help a lot. My hubby is very jealous, so I know what you mean.

It may be that you have one of those type of wives who is not really jealous, but thrives on the attention you give her when she flipping out about something. She might be turned on when she gets you upset, and your trying to prove yourself to her. Maybe!
