Is jealousy a product of love or...?

I think there could be few reasons for jealousy. ONE: one person feels posessive of his/her spouse and obviously does not like to, I don't know if the word share the right one to use in this case. TWO: the person who is jealous is insecure about her/himself and feels threatened by any posing competition

But you don't think that a person can be jealous because he/she loves him/her?

well, when i try to analyze it, using what i know. I do not see how love alone is the cause. At least to me it does not make sense how love can cause it. And i like to analyze these kind of things in trying to understand why people bahave the way they do. I think the cause of jealousy must go deeper than love. Of course love is part of it, but it's not the cause. I think if it was then all people who say they love would have been jealous, but that's not the case. So, you think about it.

depends:
1) what provokes the jealousy; flerting, obsession, insecurity
2) what actions one takes when he/she is jealous;
a. brings the cards to the table, explains his concerns to his partner >> they talk it out = productive love
b. becomes agressive and verbally/physically abusive = not productive love.

Love means being generous and giving. Love is selflessness. Jealousy, in my opinion, is rooted in selfishness, jealousy is when you want something for yourself. Jealousy is all about wanting when love is all about giving. Altruism and selfishness don't go hand-in-hand. Therefore, you can't be jealous and call it love.

>>if you have reason (valid reason)to believe that your partner is cheating on you, that's not called jealousy in my book and it most certainly will not make you love that person more.<<

no. I don't think that jealousy is the product of love
