Jealousy stems from the desire to be "favored" in some respect and the fear that one is not. Suspicious jealousy is a type of jealousy, which is not based on the actual deeds of our partner, but merely on our state of mind. This type of jealousy is hard to bear as we are not sure what the real situation is and the optimal course of action is unclear. Read More
A Saint said that? (first
A Saint said that? (first quote) Interesting. Thanks for a great post on jealousy and suspicion. They can be so paralysing together. As humans we waste a great deal of energy debate what does and doesn't exist.

Jealousy isn't coming from a place of love when it escalates to practically stalking the other person. A little bit of jealousy is fine and healthy, but when it becomes obsessive, it's more of a possession thing than a love thing.
Thanks for another great post!
Jealousy is basically derived
Jealousy is basically derived from suspicion to me. Chronic, unnecessary jealousy can pose a great threat to many relationships. The author is absolutely correct, it causes great pain, at all times. Jealousy is an evil monster. It can make the person( who is jealous) seem controlling, dependent, insecure, needy, clingy, selfish, the list goes on! Funny how we rarely focus on the person who is accused of infidelity.
It can destroy you
I can agree with the author in this article, I personally suffer from this not as bad, but It does def consume you..day in and day out. Its a feeling of "not knowing", and it just makes my stomach twist and turn to have "that" feeling. Reading this article helped me out a little, in a relationship you need to have trust or you cant have one at all. It goes with that elvis presely quote. Basically all together what i am trying to say is. If you cant trust then its just going to eat you alive.
