Behaviors of jealousy are usually obvious in childhood. If unproperly guided, a person's jealous feeling in childhood and teenage period may still go on in adult period, even affecting their relationships. People usually start relationships when they get older. Even though they begin to hide their feelings a little better than kids do, the feeling of jealousy may still exist and even affect their relationships.
Sometimes partners can hear some statements which obviously reflect the feelings of jealousy and insecurity. This passage analyze several statements reflecting a feeling of jealousy or insecurity within a relationship.
I think she's prettier than me.
It's a juvenile statement if said by someone who wishes that she was prettier. This isn't likely to garner any favor with a partner because he doesn't want to know about her insecuries. He is young as well and wants to feel he's with someone who is happy and confident. This statement indeed reflects a certain kind of inadequacies.
Do you love me?
This statement is so corny and insecure that no one should ever have to say it. If you don't know that you're loved, then chances are that you are not. Displaying your own inadequacies and jealousy of others by playing this game won't win you any favor at all.
Are you seeing someone else?
If you're in a relationship and are hearing this kind of statement, then you need to ask yourself why it was asked. If it was asked because of insecurity and jealousy because of the time you spend with other people, then it's certainly a sign that jealousy will become an ongoing part of your relationship.
I've been going through your credit card statements
Unless there's some specific reason why your partner would do that, you can bet that jealousy is involved. It's the same as going through someone's pockets and finding things that you don't want to find. This shows a real danger that there is jealousy in the relationship, and this is really trouble.
