It’s a valid emotion, a feeling that exists at times in our relationship, just as it does it most others. It’s something we talk about, honestly and openly, whenever we need to. More often than not, it’s something that arises when one of us is feeling particularly unfulfilled in our personal lives and thus has only tangentially to do with the other person and their relationships.
So I may feel jealous about the attention J is getting from cute boys when I’m feeling uncreative and unsatisfied in my research; J may feel jealous when I get to see partners while traveling over the summer while he is at home working long hours. Often, these feelings are signs that we need to turn inward, to evaluate and tend to our own inner lives and emotional, spiritual, and psychological wellbeing. When we do that, and return to a place of stability and joy of and for ourselves, we find that those negative feelings disappear.
