Monday Myth: Relationship Myth - Jealousy and Love

     Hello there my awesome AskRalph family members and new readers. Are you guys ready for today's Monday Myth? We are doing a short one on relationship today. I'll be needing your input on this one. Now the question is this..

 does jealousy in relationships really mean that your partner loves you? Or does it mean something more? I'll be debunking the myth but feel free to agree or oppose my opinion and of cos drop your own opinions  via the comment section. Ready? Alright then, let's do this...





    In relationships, jealousy tends to slip in every once in a while. Well depending on the relationship it could go from slipping in every once in a while to actually being the everyday challenge that the couple faces. Mostly people tend to attribute their jealous to the fact that they love their partner so it makes them possessive of them. People say that without jealousy, then you can't exactly say that you truly love your partner. While this is true, I believe this isn't the whole truth. The thing is that this, jealousy could be a sign of love and it could also be something far from love. Let me explain more...

Now when jealousy comes only once in a while due to the feeling of neglect and other reasons close to that, you can relate that to love. Especially if the reasons are of minor origins and have little to no effect on the relationship. It is only natural that a person feels jealousy if they feel at a point that the attention and love that is meant for them isn't being given to them or that it's being given to other people. But when jealousy is built due to things like relationship issues, lack of trust in the relationship or just out of habit then there might be a problem.

If you start getting that feeling of jealousy frequently then you might want to take some time to look at your relationship. Take some time to also look at yourself and find out if your reason for jealousy is really called for or if you just tend to over react to minor issues. Yes jealousy can mean that you love and want to protect your partner but it could also mean that their are deeper issues that you have to work through in your relationship.


We will leave it at this in today's Monday Myth so you all can discuss more on it. Jealousy isn't always born from love. However these above points remains my opinion due to general knowledge and personal experience. I would still love to hear what you all think?

Once again the question is this. Does jealous show love or are there other meanings to jealousy? Feel free to comment below...
