What is jealousy in relation to "love"?

Answer 1

Jealousy is about possession, and therefore selfish. Love is unselfish, it only wants what is best for the other person, even if that means a different partner. From a human perspective, we are rarely unselfish enough to experience love without jealousy. we want what's best for our partner, as long as what's best for them is us...

Answer 2

Jealousy is the fear, that a love agreement (real or presumed), is likely to be violated at your expense.

To really grasp the relationship thought, there are two things you must understand.

A) ALL EMOTIONS ARE SELFISH.
B) ALL EMOTIONS ARE GOOD.

Repeat this three times. Emotions are here to help you. That makes them good. And if you use them to make good thing happen to your self, that makes them selfish.

Emotions are only bad when you use them improperly. Loving someone you should hate, will leave you just as screwed as hating someone you should love.

Love is not unselfishness, it’s extending your sense of self to include others. Love allows individuals to become couples, teams, tribes, nations, etc and act collectively for the common interest.

BUT the flip side of “One for All” is “All for One.”

If a man, commits his financial resources to a woman, he expects to be the biological father of the subsequent children.

If a woman takes on the tremendous task of raising a child, she expects the child’s father to maintain his support.

This is the ‘traditional’ agreement of romantic love.

Should you live in the perpetual fear your wife will cheat or your husband will desert? Certainly not. But if you think this never happens you’re an idiot. A little jealousy, every now and again, will keep you out of trouble.

And don’t go on about “No jealousy in a perfect world.” In a perfect world my 500 beautiful wives would have 500 gay friends ready to make a prison toy out of any straight male hitting on a wife of their friend Q. And I’d still be jealous.

“Honey, I’m going shopping.”

“Hey Brucie, if your done with the pool, why don’t you give Bambi a lift?”

“Sure thing Mr. Q. So, Bambi where we going first..”

Answer 3

In the world of real love, jealousy does not exist.... which means that we never visit the world of real love, since our love is always laced with some tinge of jealousy and insecurity. We are so used to our world of possessive love that if we want to confirm if our beloved loves us or not, we put him/her to a jealousy test... if gets jealous, then he/she loves me, otherwise not. In our world, jealousy is like an acid test for love!!

Answer 4

Good question. Our desire for love and to be loved unconditionally has us not take for granted that we are special as a person and should not have our loyalty, trust, faithfulness, honor, or respect violated. When we are cheated on we feel a violation of trust which, has us behave as if we are jealous but we are not jealous we just are standing up for what is right because we are having our love be violated. However, often times we feel that our love for someone or their love for us is being jeopardized when they flirt with others which, have us feel jealous because we feel envious. Jealousy is being envious through losing what we want to posses. But when we love something and they hurt us through cheating or flirting we feel like we are being taken for granted and say something to them about not liking what they do has them think we are being jealous but in reality we know that they should not be treating us so disrespectfully by cheating or flirting. This is the best of what I know. I hope it helps.

Answer 5

I think "jealousy" takes place when we have to share someone's "love" with others or when we are not being loved at all.

Answer 6

When you love a person, you tend to want possess the person, you want him/her to be exclusive for you in certain aspects, you don't tend to be willing to share him with others, therefore you tend to be jealousy.

Answer 7
