ARTICLE

Strangely not all jealousy is unhealthy! In fact if you are NOT concerned about the way your relationship is shaping up you better be worried. That’s right – how come you are NOT possessive and rationally jealous when your partner isn’t keeping the end of his bargain of the agreed exclusiveness to each other? Or how come it doesn’t matter to you when he violates a primary condition of your relationship and gives in to his everyday temptations? Yes, you are reading right – all jealousy isn’t unhealthy or insane. So what qualifies as unwanted, irrational and insane jealousy? Read further and see how many of these you put a check on and decide for yourself if you are irrationally and desperately jealous!

1. Your partner has agreed to take you for a candle light dinner. Time is nearing but he calls and says that there is an emergency meeting called in the office and there is no way he could miss that. It is the time his promotion is due and if he skips that you and he will know the repercussions. You fret and fume and feel overly upset because you believe that he always has to keep an original agreement and has no right to change his mind.
2. You do not like a particular family relative and have expressed your displeasure to your partner. However there is a family dinner where this person will be present. He says its okay if you skip the party but that he will have to go. You feel that he doesn’t really love you, because if he did, he would skip the party too. You seethe in anger.
3. Your partner has gone on a business trip. He calls to say that he will be delayed by a few more days. Your imagination gets the better of you and you think that he’s betraying you. You begin to construe pictures of him having found another lover and begin to believe that you won’t be able to trust yourself to handle life if you lost him.
4. Your partner speaks about other gorgeous women he sees at a nightclub. He simply passes comments on their outstanding figure. You begin to brood and stew over the fact that he is thinking of other women and that he’s contemplating leaving you. And that to you would be unbearable.
5. You desperately cling to your partner and hang on to him for dear life fearing that you might lose him – and then you, who are nothing to begin with, will go back to square one – being nothing!
