Jealousy could pose a considerable amount of problem both in the life of the person that is jealous and the other partner. Everyone gets jealous day in day out and we tend to suspect the moves of our spouse at any given opportunity - I stand to be corrected.
A jealous partner often compares himself or herself to the other person that is been frolicked with outside of their relationship. They feel threatened that their place in the heart of their lover could be lost or even feel inferior that they are not up to the standard and status (social, financial and physique) of the third party.
Considering how unthinkable and disheartening a state of jealousy may be, people who are excessively jealous or have a crazy suspicious level may not see the event as it actually is - in other words, they misinterpret an harmless action to mean something else. Thereby, mounting the pressure on their spouse, on themselves and the relationship as a whole.

Whenever either of the partners does not show a high level of honesty and transparency in the relationship such as keeping late nights, not returning a phone call, not keeping to time during dates or forgetting important dates in the relationship, a highly jealous partner will conclude and allude a negative meaning to the events. One of the most common thought that will come to mind is that the partner is CHEATING.
Concluding without having a hard and critical thought could harm both parties in a terrible manner and it would even open doors for more unhealthy suspicions. So bad?!
Staying around a jealous person could be energy sapping due to the fact that they could be overly possessive, needy, dominating, intimidating, controlling and invasive.
On the long run, people who are in a relationship with people that have high level of jealousy often stay away from them or even break up and end the relationship.
Dealing with jealousy is effective to have a healthy relationship and it is advisable to take time to address issues that could be hindering the progress of your relationship such as insecurities. Give your partner the benefit of the doubt - always trust and believe their moves, what they tell you. Don't draw conclusions hastily.
Thanks for reading.
