If you get jealous in a relationship, is that a sign that you are truly in love.?

Answer 1

No.

It is a sign that my passions have exceeded my reason.

It tells you that I want you more than I appreciate you.

There should be trust and honesty between people and when that wanes love is all that holds those people together, but love can be overwhelmed by passion or stiffled by reason.

Passion shows up as jealousy. Reason shows up as neglect.

Love shows up as understanding.

The thought that "Love means never having to say you're sorry" relates to this last thought.

You need to focus on the timing of events. Are you in the same place in this relationship as the person(s) you seek to love, or are they somewhere else?

When you are new to a relationship passions run amuck. Over the years reason tends to take hold and extinquish some of the heat that was once there in a relationship. Disatisfaction will erupt if you are reasonable when he is passionate. His actions will seem extreme to you and your acions will seem less than sincere to him. It is all an illusion but it is something you should know.

When you can recognize if this is the wrong person for this time then you can realize what it is that you are all about.

Just a thought.

Answer 2

No really. It could just mean that you are jealous. What I mean is jealous comes in several different forms. In a relationship, it could mean that you actually like that person ( possibly leading to love) and you do not want anything or anyone to come between that at this point. It's human nature for men and women to get jealous if someone or something is consuming more time than we think is sufficient. So it's not a sign that you are truly in love but definetly means you like them enough to care....

hope that helps..

Answer 3

No. More like a sign of insecurity. A certain amount of jealousy is natural and expected. But go beyond the norm and it usually will turn into something ugly.

Answer 4

not really. yes, on one level, it means that the person means alot to you. however, it can also be a sign that you are insecure either with your relationship or with yourself. be aware if your significant other is not treating you well, or if you are not treating yourself well.

i used to never get jealous when i was younger, but after going through a string of crappy relationships, i developed jealousy.

but being in my current relationship with my boyfriend (who treats me fabulous), i realized that i had no reason to be jealous anymore and so i don't really get jealous anymore.

Answer 5

no, it is a sign that someone is truly immature. jealousy is a real bad plan. It will destroy the relationship and you. It can suck the oxygen out of the room.

Answer 6

I think if a person doesn't get jealous..that may mean they are very secure in themselves. Jealousy just means to me that the person may have some insecurities.

Answer 7

Not necessarily. It could just mean that you care about this person more than you have for others before. Did you see the movie "The Matrix"? (The first one)
In that movie, a woman tells the main character that "no one can tell you you're in love you just know it. Through and through." That's how it was for me. When you're in love, there's no mistake about it. YOU KNOW.

Answer 8

hmmm, interesting, my bf and i had a convo about this today! no, i dont think it's a sign of true love. but, everyone says jealousy is bad and all, and yeah it makes you feel bad if you're the one who's jealous... but i like it when my bf gets a LITTLE jealous. it makes me feel more wanted and like he CARES. so i dont think it's a totally bad thing.

Answer 9

No. It is a sign that you are unsure of the other persons fidelity. If you can fully trust him/her then there is no reason to feel jealous.

Answer 10

NO It is a sign you don't trust the other person. With out trust, there can not be love
