Jealousy: healthy or unhealthy, in the context of a relationship?

If your Mr./Mrs. Perfect is possessive with respect to you is it gud and if yet upto what extend

Unhealthy, waste of time, juvenile...why is this even a question?

Unhealthy and boring, nearly as boring as the concept of perfection.

concept of perfection :/ can u explain a little more briefly

coz accouding to me it is healthy but upto some extend , some1 really does cares , and demands an attention

but when limit is crossed , feel like killing the person

these are different issues,, though they can come in a package

possession is a sense that a person 'belongs' to us like an object,, that's never healthy

an expectation of a mutual commitment from a person is a bit healthier than a sense of 'possession'

jealousy of a persons other relationships is also unhealthy when those relationships were in place before you met the person,, they are a part of who that person is and contribute somehow to why you love them,,,,,

its natural to maybe feel jealous if a partner seems more interested or devoted to others,, but having interest and devotion with others doesn't always mean they are MORE interested or devoted with others,,,,

I don't think that jealousy is ever healthy. If you are in a healthy relationship, it would never be an issue. A healthy relationship involves trust so there's no room for jealousy.

Jealousy over what part of a relationship?

Jealous because your partner can do something you can't? Can be both, can drive you to try it.

Jealous because your partner is talking to another guy/girl? Not exceedingly healthy, but that depends on the form of jealousy. Are you so jealous that it causes fights? Not healthy. Are you jealous to the point that you discuss it with them and share feelings on the topic? Perfectly healthy because then the issue at hand may be able to be resolved, so long as both parties remain calm and sociable about it.

Jealous because you're not as "good" as their ex was? Well, it's the EX! Don't be jealous over that.

Jealous because they still talk to their ex? Talk about it. Figure out why they still talk. Don't fight over it.

*Some* jealousy is healthy, just depends what kind and how severe.

I was a tad jealous of my (now ex) boyfriend when I was with him because he has a job, car and more freedom than me.. It drove me insane but there was nothing I could do.

I was jealous that he had friends and I didn't, drove me crazy and we talked about it. I didn't want to share his friends (not my type) so we compromised and figured it out.
