No, TRUST is a big part of love and jealousy is unhealthy and a sign of insecurity. If you are jealous in a relationship it means you don`t trust that person and if you can`t feel like you trust them, it is not love but infatuation or posession. People are not property of other people and being jealous makes it seem like that`s what you`re saying...."You`re mine so you are not allowed to do anything that makes me feel threatened or insecure." I HATE jealousy and am SOOO happy I don`t have to deal with that stuff. Me and my bf trust eachother and never get jealous over things. I know that he is "the one" and vice/verse. we never have to second guess or question.....THAT`S love!

I think it's a bit of both. It is nice if your partner is "a little" jealous, but be careful that the jealousy does not turn into "possession". Unfortunately, alot of guys / girls misread their partners possessiveness for jealousy, with disastrous results! Make sure the jealousy is healthy and not weird. (ya know what I mean). And Never Ever make your partner jealous on purpose - that is a sign of disrespect, and shows you don't really care for that person. (you would not hurt someone you love that way!)

My experience is that most of the time it comes from insecurity and I would say of the times I have had someone be so jealous of me, they ended up being the cheater 9 times out of ten. I think that comes from knowing in their own heart that they would be a dog if they could and they assume everyone else is too and therefore, if they would do it, you surely would. Hence unbelievabe drama and in the end I have learned something, if a guy starts acting jealous, especially if it like over the top jealous, chances are he's thinking about it way more than I ever did. Funny about how that works. Hope this helps you!

Jealousy is not a sign of love! Jealousy is a sign of an insecure person that is afraid that the object of their concern does not value them as much as they value the other. Jealousy is a sign of fear and a sense of possession.

Because jealousy does not mean love nor untrustworthy it is neither but could be both. Depends on the given situation.

A certain amount of jealousy is ok, and the person can admit they are jealous and maybe laugh about it, but extreme jealousy is a sign of trying to control and overpower the other person. Generally jealousy accompanied by anger is bad, jealousy accompanied by a laugh and honesty about it, like "That made me kinda jealous, but I know it's silly" is ok.

Jealousy with trust is love, jealousy with mistrust can turn into controlling. I asked my bf the other day if he was the jealous type and he said what I also believe and that is if you weren't jealous at all then it would mean u didn't care, and I think that is true.

Jealousy is a characteristic that everybody has. Jealousy is a form of love and wanting something that someone else had. So I believe that jealously can be a want or a need.

Jealousy is a sign of attachment. Be emotionally detatched and step back from the situation. This way you will be able to see the bigger picture and make better choices.
