So an argument is going on right now in my room now as regard the question above. personally, I feel a little jealousy is healthy in relationships. what won't be healthy is when it spiralls out of control and leads to obsession.

let's hear different views.

well it depends on the level of jealousy , sometimes it might become too much .

Jealousy is a sigh of love buht too much of it is termed obsession

Personally, I can't date or marry any girl that doesn't have a tinge of jealousy for me, and vice versa.

Small jealousy or moderate jealousy is needed, it shows one cares about his or her significant partner. Jealousy is man's nature, so it's nothing to be ashamed of.

However excessive or over-the-top jealousy, is a no-no for me. It kills my love for a girl faster than a marksman bullet to his target. When a girl gets overtly jealous over little things, or even ask I cut off my female friends that have been there before she came, without any CREDIBLE reason(s), then I'll have to find my way out of that relationship. Most times, it leads to headaches from the nagging partner.

But one partner should try his or her best to be open about his or her dealings with opposite genders, to reduce his or her partner's chances of getting overtly jealous. Don't give him or her reasons to get overtly jealous.

Normal jealousy - a welcome development

Excessive jealousy - hell to the NO!!

Jealousy is a complex emotion. Jealousy as regards relationships is basically borne out of fear of abandonment.

if you love someone, it's completely normal to be scared of losing that someone.

So, Jealousy is definitely a part of Love.

Yes it is

nah, jealousy is for the weak and its a female trait

People get jealous because they feel a certain fear of losing the person they love to someone else. But if one is getting overly aggressive for no reason, then it's not healthy. There is some kind of insecurity when someone is over jealous. Someone who grew up with self confidence and love rarely have blind jealousy in their character unless there is an obvious reason to panic. It now becomes defending your 'territory'

Where is Joenice? another debate for you.

Yes,but it shouldn't be to the extreme.

It shows you care,and can't share the person's feeling with another person.

*snoring*

adonbilivit: nah, jealousy is for the weak and its a female trait

You are wrong....Jealousy is totally part of love though,if well contained.

Yes. As long as other does not breed envy

I dey jealous pass anything

Reasonable Jealousy is part of love... In fact, it's a sign of love.

..

Yes it is, if you love your spouse you shouldn't want to share him or have other ladies having his "attention" unnecessarily . Jealousy in relationships should be a healthy kind of jealousy tho. Just the kind that makes you watch for ur man/woman.

Most Ladies like guys who are Jealous...If You're not the jealous type,then they'll say ''He's not man enough''.

Yes n No

I have watched too many Indian/Nigerian/American romance movies where the grounds for someone cheating on his/her partner is usually:
"You didnt fight hard enough to keep me when I tried to leave'' - meaning I didnt sense enough jealousy in you when that other guy/lady was trying to woo me[b]

So yeah, I guess guys/ladies actually EXPECT their partner to have some measure of jealousy in them, otherwise ''they may not truly, deeply love them''

Weird world

lt should be healthy and not such that reeks of insecurity.

Jealous Wifey is dangerous to marry cos one day she is gonna jealously give u heart attack.
It really pissed off but lil jelly instint is part of human.

Yes it is.if ur partner in love is not jealous then probably he has no future plan with you.Maybe he com do chop and clean mouth.

Even God was jealous

[size=15pt]@ OP, I see...So an argument from your room actually made front page??

End Will Never Wonder here on NL![/size]

you can't love someone and not be a little jealous of what goes around the person.But some people jealousy are too extreme that they become a monitoring spirit.

A tiny bit of jealousy is understandable, but to a level it becomes a serious issue. Mostl girls who lack self confidence are over jealous, it's even worse if the guy is above her standards, maybe he's better looking or have a thing going for himself. The girl am seeing now is just too jealous, I spent 3hrs last night explaining every detail as to why I missed her call.

Alittle jealous is okay....It shows we truly have feelings for each other...And wont tolerate cheating no matter what...

But when it is getting too much....Pick race!!!....

Yes it is oo cos u won't b jealous over some1 u don't feel anytin for
