In your opinion, how common is jealousy as part of a healthy relationship and at what point is the exact limit where it becomes too much?

Not asking as I’m experiencing it, only asking as people have different ideas of what is ‘too much’ with jealousy. Usually looking at other Partner’s phones etc but do you have any ideas?

I was always kind of flattered when my ex-wife was jealous about other women. I craved that attention from her.
She would do cute things like sit really close to me at the beach if other women were near us, or she would tell me that she will beat up some woman just because she asked me what my plans were for the weekend. If we saw one of my female co-workers at the movies and she said hi to me, then my wife would be all over me during the movie to show who I belonged to, lol. It was funny, it's not like I'm that hot or something.
Where it got bad was when she would have dreams about me cheating on her and she would wake up so mad at me. She literally wouldn't talk to me for half the day and she acted as if I actually did it.

Jealously is something I like but with the likeability obviously comes the fine lines. While it can be great at showing that you both truly want each other it can also be a sign they are just controlling and don't really care other than that.
Jealously becomes a problem when you start trying to demand what a girl can wear. What friends they can have etc. Jealously is not a problem when it becomes I am gonna bite your neck to show them your mine now that's just hot.
Jealously is not a problem when it reveals the fact you have a crush on someone but didn't have the words to say it, as hopefully that crush will notice such behaviour.

Myself is clinging and prone to jealously but I am not controlling. As so envious. I try to use them in a good way rather than a bad way, emotions can be directed. I am also very chill to say I am those things I am totally fine with if I had a girlfriend who does onlyfans or something that you would think set's it off but it don't.

Not healthy at all.

Jealousy is a red flag for me. One I've ignored previously and it developed into a major problem.

Jealousy without proper communication to resolve it will lead to problems. And it's a sign, to me, of someone immature and unable to handle themselves in a mature relationship with me.

Jealousy is a high school emotion. I'm well past that. Communication and respecting boundaries is vital.

Jealousy is a sexy feeling tbh. Me and my boyfriend are completely transparent with each other, we frequently check each others' phones and all lol. But for me, it starts when I find other girls checking him out or being too "clingy", yk what I mean. But no, not too much cause its a relationship afterall, these things are common.

It is always risky and unhealthy also. It is also a sign of immaturity and childishness.

Jealousy is part of being romantically involved with someone. The limit to me is when you start acting possessive towards that person.

[LazerBean]

If it is impacting your every day life at all, then it's too much.

[jahaims]

Jealousy is an immature emotion. Pretty much any amount isn't healthy.
