it's actually a good thing to have jealousy. I don't know why people deny themselves this. it's like they hate the feeling? 😕

“From an evolutionary perspective, jealousy is natural and adaptive in that it helps alert people when they need to do something to retain their mate,” clinical psychologist and sex therapist, Dr. Marianne Brandon told us. “Sometimes jealousy is totally warranted, because the jealous person is being neglected. Sometimes people also feel jealous because of low self-esteem.”

But, as Dr. Brandon explains, jealousy doesn’t have to be the end of a relationship. Sometimes, a little light and playful jealousy can boot confidence in relationships. It can evoke the feeling that your partner wants you and cares about you, and that feels good. It’s important to feel desired in a relationship, especially over time when couples sometimes take each for granted.

“There is interesting research that women who are pregnant or on birth control pills are more jealous than women not on the pill or not pregnant,” says Dr. Brandon. “From an evolutionary perspective this would be because the pregnant woman is feeling vulnerable and needing more assurance of partner’s protection for her and baby.” There’s a need to get assurance from their partner that they are most important, so it can make them act in more jealous ways than women who are not affected by hormonal changes.

Jealousy can be self esteem issues because it's fiercely competitive out there the ones that are single too. But know they can have any desire to get with anyone and they aren't getting it from an air moon. They will go somewhere else even though there's nothing wrong they just like space and causes insecurity about how strong their bind is afterall. And start second guessing. It's when they start seeing their man or woman with someone else regardless just friends or not. Maybe that's why no bueno of friendship applies after breaking up or in the process of friendship foundations.
