Jealousy Can Have Different Meanings.


In a relationship, it could mean instability. Your partner may not be committed enough to your relationship so as to commit acts that would trigger jealousy in you. Or, you may not be trusting enough and every little thing makes you jealous.

In some cases, it could mean you're falling in love - there are instances when you're only able to realize that you love a person when you get in a situation that makes you feel jealous.

It could also mean possessiveness, that which you feel when you realize that the person you care about isn't yours alone - that there are other people who care for him as much as, or even more than, you do - and suddenly you want him all to yourself.

In other instances, it could simply mean the realization that you want to keep the person - that moment when you realize that you can lose the person anytime and you suddenly feel scared about that possibility.

Jealousy could also mean immaturity. It could mean a wrong sense of commitment. It could mean many other things, and it says a lot about one's feelings.

... But as to what this jealousy that I'm feeling means, I do not know yet. All I know is that I need to keep it under control - can't make the situation more complicated than it already is.
