6 Situations When It Is Okay to Be Jealous
Feelings of jealousy and possessiveness are usually associated with negativity. In spite of that there can be situations in which envy springs up in a healthy way which strengthens a couple’s bond. Here are a few situations in which it may in fact be okay to feel jealous of your partner.
1. When your partner is too popular
It is annoying to have hoards of people gathering around your partner every time you go out in a group of common friends for a pub night or an evening coffee. Your partner may have a good sense of humor,a charming personality or the knack of making everyone feel comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you have to share it with the rest of the world. It is alright to feel left out and jealous when this happens.
2. When your partner spends too much time with a female colleague at work
If your partner has to complete a project at work along with a female colleague, there may be nothing you can do about it. Irrespective of how formal your partner’s relations are with that person, it is natural for your mind to start churning images of how they both must be having fun together.
3. When your partner’s ex becomes a ‘good friend’
Matters related to an ex girlfriend tend to carry a lot of negative connotations. All hell can break loose for you if your partner decides to patch up with an ex and behave as friends. In such a tricky situation it is okay for you to be jealous because the lines of friendship between your partner and his ex can be quite blurred.
