There is no romantic love without jealousy. Because love is possession and jealousy is a by-product of the so called love.
Highly jealous people have deep insecurities. This leads them to desire to control other people. In this attempt they strangle the other person with their need for control. There are various degrees of jealousy however.
From what you say it's not that you're not jealous anymore but you deny your feelings of jealousy which is equally bad because you store those emotions deep into your subconscious and layer their gonna burst out with rage.
Jealousy is not the act of arguing but the pain suffered when you feel that you might loose him.
Learn to love yourself first. Appreciation of the self will make less needy or jealous and will give you more confidence in yourself. When your partener will try to make you jealous you will be sarcastic rather than jealous because you would be reassured of yourself.
I have a particular disdain for jealousy. I've seen the drama it causes when it's unwarranted and it's been used against me were I was purposely being made jealous just so she could get more attention... which makes no sense to me since it's not good attention. I've also had my righteous jealousy used against me as if I was wrong for feeling that way (and of course I was right).
So it depends on what you were getting jealous about. Just simple interactions... or is your dude flirting with girls?
It's normal that girls try to flirt with me, but I'm not receptive and it becomes clear pretty quickly to the female that the flirting is unilateral. My wife gets jealous but not at me, she just grumbles to me about the audacity of that b*** trying to flirt with me in front of her. I think her reaction equates to the action, but if she was all hostile with me it would be over the top and she'd be in the wrong.
It's natural to be jealous!
I don't know why don't people think jealousy is wrong!
He is MY boyfriend.
What do you mean by talking to another girl? Like a normal conversation or like flirting?
IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU DON'T GET JEALOUS !!! does he complain that you don't?

You're perfectly in the right. you don't wanna fight and thats good. less jealousy will build trust and strengthen the relationship for sure. However, some people like a bit of jealousy. It makes them feel wanted and like they're worth fight for. If thats your boy, and it sounds like it is, just do it. Be a little jelly. Like in a playful way (if that makes sense). Not in a serious way that conveys mistrust, but in a way that says "you're mine, got it?;)<3"
Jealousy isn't that bad, it shows that you're afraid of losing him to another girl. But if you get angry about it and show that you're not happy when he just talks to a girl, it would feel to him like he can't do anything when you're around. So don't feel bad when you're jealous again but try not to be angry about it and go talk to you're boyfriend. Ask him calmly an serious if he would ever leave you for someone else. Then he can say that he never would do that. Knowing that he wouldn't do that bc he personally promised is always better than guessing that he wouldn't.
Not really. You're probably one step closer towards the right direction and becoming more mature. Because fights like these you have realized are basically stupid. Good job.
"I realized that it’s best to not be jealous and not overreact like I used to"
Regarding you still being a bit upset, i think it's a normal reaction since you don't want to lose him to another girl or share him. Most of us have been there except those like me, who are involuntarily celibate.
Your jealousy provided your boyfriend with what's know as secondary gain. it fed his ego, and made him feel important. He'd tell you he wanted you to stop being jealous, but the secondary gain was how it made him feel. That secondary gain no longer exists so his ego feels starved...
Once you get to trust each other enough (which is necessary for any good relationship) jealousy isn't really a problem (not counting special situations ofc). You just gotta not be jealous without good reasons, and not just to avoid fights. If there's suspicion and a decent reasoning to be jealous - go ahead.
It's totally okay to not want to engage in that type of argument, it's good that you stepped off the jealousy train, but for him to think you don't care... That's not cool, just keep it up and I'm certain he'll turn about!
Not really, I used to be a really jealous guy, I wouldn't start fights because of it, but rather keep it to myself and feel worse each time. Not any better tbh. With my current girlfriend, I have only been jealous this last 9 months cause of two guys, we talked about it and we sorted things out.
Lol... start a bit fight so that he may be assured that u care...
Just for fun
Either you're starting to trust him more or you may not be attracted to him that much anymore
obviously I don't know your man but it sounds like he may be a little insecure and like you to feel jealous as it could boost his ego.
Then again, maybe you feel so secure in your relationship that you know he's not going to cheat on you?
Jealousy is a total stupid monkey on your back, and you are well rid of it!!! Just tell him you've decided to ditch it and he'll be pleased I'm sure.
It sounds like you are taking the mature road, and it looks like he might have been trying to make you jealous all along as some kind of game.
Not necessarily, maybe you've started to trust him, if so tell him that. Or maybe, you wan to trust him, you want not to be jealous, also tell him that.
No it's not bad unless he's given u a reason to be jealous don't worry
Careful, jealousy can be a form of self defence so don't completely dump it
Nope... as long as there is mutual trust... That he is completely yours and not going to leave you in any circumstances.
Possibly because he may have liked it because it made him feel important
No it is way healthier to not be jealous and if if he wants jealousy then he's not the one
You have grown. And grown up.
Yes it means your slow not caring anymore
