I have only felt true jealousy once with my current husband. There were so many different reasons for feeling it and it took some time to work through. Eventually, I did work through it and I'm so very happy I did!
Some of the issues that played into me feeling jealous were the following -
1. Huge age difference between hubby and I (21 years, him being younger)
2. Not feeling comfortable yet in our relationship, still questioning our feelings towards one another and our commitment level.
3. My personal feelings of inadequacy - ie: overweight, not pretty etc.
4. His neighbor/friend/ex g/f was doing everything she could to convince Florin that she still loved him and wanted him back when she knew that he and I were a couple.
5. Florin's lack of understanding what his ex was doing. It was completely obvious to me...Florin was blind to it (go figure eh? hehehe)
Luckily for me, she made a very blantant move on Florin when I was not around. He came to me and told me what she had done and said "You were right, she tried to get me back". You have no idea how glad I was she had tried and how ecstatic I was that he told her in no uncertain terms NO!
Since Florin and I have a really good communication, we were able to talk through all my insecurities and his also. We came to a complete understanding of our love and committment towards each other and I am happy to say that there is no more jealous feelings in me. Even if we do live thousands of miles away from each other....I trust him implicitly and he trusts me (he always did).
I truly hated those jealous feelings. They overwhelmed me and made me feel a way I was completely uncomfortable with. I am very happy to live life without feeling jealous of anyone or anything. My belief is that feeling jealousy (even just a little) can be deterimental to a relationship....at least in my world it can be
