Jealousy is an evil thing in a relationship! It can sting so hard, and hurt the ones we are closest to the worst!
I think that jealousy stems from "trust." If you don`t completely trust your partner, naturally, your going to be jealous, wondering.."what if."

What does jealousy mean to you?
Jealousy is a self esteem problem as far as I'm concerned.
And yes, it can make you miserable and ruin a good relationship.
I agree with Loves and Thursday. Jealousy is primarily rooted in one's own self-esteem and self-worth. Having said that, even confident people have the capability of becoming jealous sometimes.
when i was first dating my hubby i was extremely jealous because i was afraid of not being the center of his world. now that i'm no longer so in love with him, i could care less what he does. so jealousy may have also have something to do with the intensity of your "love" - it also can be tied to how secure you feel in the relationship. if you feel insecure that you may lose the person you tend to be more jealous but if you feel very secure and trust the person then you're no longer so jealous.

Reason: grammar
Depends on the the level of jealousy? I am not at all jealous about her spending time with friends, etc. Don't think I'd be jealous if we went to a swingers party and I watched her enjoy a vigorous schtupping by a well endowed stud. But I WOULD be jealous if she went off into a another room with the stud without me. THAT'S jealousy.
Jealousy is a part of being human. Those who say they are never jealous are usually the most jealous out there. Deny deny deny.
It happens to the best of us and I think it's healthy in a small dose. I like my SO to sometimes show me that he wants me to be HIS girl and no one elses. If he let me do what I wanted with whomever I wanted, I wouldn't want him.

It may be "part of being human", but some of us have learned to conquer it long ago and really never have a thing in our lives to bring it up.
I deny it because I really truly don't have it, about ANYTHING.
