So we’ve all heard the “he’s so jealous” and “she’s so jealous” complaints from our relationship bound friends, but what’s the big deal? Is jealousy Really a problem in relationships today?
A recent survey showed that 8 out 10 guys like their women to be a bit jealous, “It shows that they’re willing to fight for what they have.. And who doesn’t like a little kitty fight?” – says Markus.
When women we’re asked about the topic at hand, we had a slightly different response. 6 out of 10 women felt that jealous men are controlling men. “No women wants a man who’s going to tell her not to go out with her guy friends. They need to give us space, jealousy prevents us from being ourselves”. With a little further investigation, GezzyGirl learnt that women too, enjoy a little jealousy in their relationships, the problem arises when the jealousy is excessive.
Jealousy can be relationship ruining, or relationship building, it simply depends on how you handle it. While in some cases jealousy may be interpreted as lack of trust, it can also be seen as a “I’ll fight for you” gesture.
The next time your partner expresses their jealous side, don’t be too quick to react. Take a step back, and try think about what the source of their lealousy is. You’ll be surprised at what you may find!
