I am not a jealous person either, and look at jealousy as stemming from an insecurity in many instances. I believe you can't change someone's jealousy very much, as it seems it is usually too deeply ingrained within that person. I also believe the only way you can negate jealousy to any degree, is to simply point out the facts, and keep doing the right thing.

I also believe, that at times, jealousy can be used as a means of control over someone else in a relationship. In having said that, I have to say, it sucks up a lot of time and energy...and is really something I have come to strongly dislike over the years.

It is horrible. it possessed my mind. By talking about it helped alot.

I'm very jealous, I just keep my mouth shut (except for emailing friends, thanks guys) and it eases with time.........

I used to be when I met my 2nd husband. He was a very prominent man. I finally realized that this was his nature. He always hugged people and always was very complimentary. to everyone.

When hubby and I first meet  I was very insecure and jealous... But now I love to see him confident , even flirty.. I think it is healthy for him. But I am completely secure in his dedication to me. 

HE is crazy jealous.. HE thinks I am just beautiful and cant imagine that a man would want to be my friend.. They all want to have sex...LOL... But he never says anything... He adjust his poster around other man when i am there and will quickly let them know if he feel they have said anything inappropriate... LOL he is my bull dog.. 

My ex was a jealous man. I will not be controlled. I do not control others and I expect the same treatment. I'm pretty outspoken and I stand my ground. Learn to deal or move on. It's blunt, but I can not waste time on something I find petty. If you know you have this problem sort it out, it will ruin your live and ruin the lives of your family.

I think of jealousy as evil, I don't want it around me.

The person can teach themselves to have better, healthier thoughts.

What's funny to me is years ago i was extremely jealous of my wife (girlfriend at the time), probably cause at the time she was the hottest thing around(still is in my eyes) now that were a bit older , actually much older she is the jealous one, of what me, It's not like i'm any big prize (huba huba) but with time it seems to be getting better, perhaps she realizes a good thing..

My first wife was, I guess I said enough.........

I'm not jealous, but my husband is, and it may sound odd but I don't mind, he often leaves me sitting alone to play the poker machines or gamble on horses, neither of which interest me, he is soon at my side when I strike up a conversation with someone else

IF I am ever in a relationship with someone again (and that is a big "if"), I will NOT be jealous of the person's looks, abilities, friendships, activities, or anything that keeps us from spending time together.  
After all the time you've been married, ed shank, I don't understand why Mrs. is still insecure about you......perhaps she feels some lacking in herself, or that you married her first because she was pregnant.  Maybe letting her know you'd have married her pg or not would be a comfort of some kind?   

I was  when I was attending middle school, but once I grew up I gained confidence. I believe once you are confident and secure with yourself you loose jealousy, at least in my case. If someone is cheating that may cause jealousy, as well as insecurity and lack of trust.

You may just want to build up her confidence, compliment her more often (if possible) and get her a self help type book.  Maybe something about building self esteem or a positive thinking type book. Hope this helps?

I am not a jealous person at all and very trusting.  Should not have been.  Thought was just a flirtation turned out to be affair.  Ended 17yr marriage.

She has a very odd schedule lately. She may not come home for several days. We talk everyday on the phone, several times. I tell her everyday I love her. I always make it a point to compliment her no matter where we go. Several of her friends have said to her, If you ever want to get rid of him let me know. They all at one time have gotten a bad look from her, they also know she is very jealous. I guess I should be flattered. Not being jealous myself, I thought that perhaps she thinks that I don't care if someone else whisks her away. I believe that "extreme jealousy" is a form of mental illness. I've made it this far without a knife in my heart, and I imagine in the future that also will not happen.

Jealousy is an awful trait to have to tolerate in someone.  I know more than one person who is extremely jealous of their mate.  I believe that if a person wants to leave the relationship, they will and no amount of "hanging on", will keep them by your side. 

We both were for long time but managed to survive it as we were getting a little wiser...

Ok,its ok to have a little jealousy but not so much to split up.
