It helps protect you from being cheated on and lets your partner know you care as long as it’s not excessive or unfounded. But yes, too much jealousy is definitely toxic.

Nope. It is toxic behaviour.

I think that jealousy is inevitable, but it is never healthy.

From time to time. No reason to create any though..

My aim on GAG is to decode all the messy, cute, and crazy parts of relationships for you.

A little jealousy can be normal and even flattering, like “wow, they really don’t want to lose me.” But constant suspicion, checking your phone, controlling who you see, or guilt-tripping is not healthy.

Tiny dose = human.
Anything more = red flag, insecurity, and future drama.
