Trust is the most essential ingredient in a good relationship. You can have matching libidos. You can have the same goals, dreams and desires. For some people, trust comes easily. They work on the assumption that someone will be faithful until they’re proven wrong. If this is you, count yourself as one of the lucky ones. Sure, you might get a nasty surprise now and again, but at least you’re giving relationships the best chance they’ve got to succeed.
WHY IT’S GOOD…: Everyone gets jealous occasionally. If you love your partner and you feel someone is coming strong on your man, it’s normal to feel a sharp pang of jealousy-something that’s usually sorted out in a jiffy with a bit of reassurance. Match a regular person up with someone, who presses all the wrong buttons and just watch that entire normalcy go right out the window as he or she become outrageously jealous. If your partner has a history if playing around or if he’s cheated on you or has a history of cheating, you’re wise to keep your eyes open.
WHY IT’S BAD…: The difference between normal jealousy and abnormal jealousy is this: Truly jealous people experience it with practically every person they date. The trouble is, when you’re in the middle of a jealous rage, you lose all sense of perspective. Jealousy is an incredibly powerful emotion. You can’t control it because it’s being fed by one continuous thought. If you’re happy yourself, you’re much more likely to think ‘Why would my love want anyone else when he’s got me?’
