Is a guy continuously being jealous a bad thing, and if so, does it hurt the relationship?

Yeah

Nah

Jealousy and Trust issues are a sign of insecurity and they aren't ready for a real relationship, be that guy or girl.

They need to sort that crap out before they get into a relationship because experience tells me they don't get better through time during the relationship.

Relationships require trust to work. No trust means no relationship. Just paranoia and control.

And don't buy that garbage excuse of "It's not you I don't trust, it's the other guys/girls I don't trust" because that's a crock of shit to cover their lack of trust in you not leaving them for someone better... But not directly blaming you or coming out straight saying they don't trust you because then that just gives you a legit excuse to dump their ass.

If he's jealous but doesn't do anything about it such as causing drama and all, there's shouldn't be much to worry because it may seem like he's trying to calm himself down. But if anything talking with the guy would help him open up about his jealousy over something

*situational* jealousy can be appropriate at times-- evolution gives us the emotion of jealousy for good reason. But when jealousy runs rampant and isn't matched to the situation, then it becomes toxic. The hard part is knowing when you've crossed from one side to the other.

Yes and the same thing would be true for a woman being continuously jealous. For every bit of jealousy in your head, you're lacking in empathy, love and other positive attributes. It gets in the way of the positives and it clouds your judgment and it's often completely irrational.

Being protective and being jealous are two different things. Hence why they're different words. A jealous partner always leads to a strained relationship at best

[alvincasey]

A jealous person is an unhappy person. Frequently, the jealousy is part of their own personality/insecurities and not caused by anyone else therefore there is little anyone else can do to alleviate it

It's definitely a bad thing. The guy is insecure and controlling. If two people don't trust each other, there is no relationship.

[slatyb]

Jealous as in he doesn't want you talking to other guys? That's too controlling and makes an adult life impossible.

It's a horrible thing for the relationship (and everyone around it)! Nothing is sadder than seeing a guy who managed to lock down a piece he acts like he can't keep

No jealousy issues here. We're in a cuckold marriage so she's free to be with whoever she wants.

[Aethereal]

It depends on if his partner is giving him good reason to be jealous.

Being jealous frequently will definitely harm a relationship. It creates tension and distrust.
