it's okay to be jealous, people that say it's due to insecurity and immaturity are ridiculous.
Jealousy can be defined as an emotion that arises when something or someone causes you to believe to decrease the value or a friendship or relationship. Everyone's threshold on jealousy is different. For example I could careless if guys flirt with my girlfriend because I know that it's going to happen and there's nothing I could do about it. I also know that if I were single, I'd flirt with anyone (in or out of a relationship).
However... if she sees a girl talking to me, she will hurry over and hold my hand to single "back off."
The best thing to do about jealousy is to talk about it. "hey, when this happens, I feel threaten and would like it if you could do this."

Jealousy is an immature emotion that should fade with time. Just be more confident in yourself and hopefully you will overcome this feeling.
I'm a jealous person too, but I try to keep that to myself as much as possible. When I'd love to scream I'll just smile. Jealousy is OK, and a certain amount is even healthy, as long as you process it properly. By that I mean, no lashing out, making hasty decisions or saying hurtful things because of what you are feeling. You need to internalize it, relax and realize that you trust him and that those other girls really don't matter if he's coming home to you. I disagree with the male poster, jealousy is not immature. The immature part comes in when it is handled improperly. Yes, you are right, jealousy could kill your relationship. He won't think it's cute, and if he can't keep you happy he won't want to stay with you.
What has helped me is telling my boyfriend to be open about if he thinks a girl is attractive. Be open in discussing about what makes her attractive vs not. It normalizes it. The more you do that, the more you’ll realize that finding other people attractive while in a relationship is perfectly natural and doesn’t go beyond that.
