Dating Advice: When Is Jealousy Healthy?

Thursday November 22, 2007

Many of the dating advice questions I get revolve around the green eyed monster we all love to hate: jealousy. Should I be jealous if my partner did this? Is he or she trying to make me jealous? Do I have the right to be jealous? Am I too jealous? How do I stop being jealous?

I'll be posting these reader questions and my answers shortly in the dating advice section of this dating site (and feel free to email me if you have some more questions of your own), but in the meantime created a quick dating quiz about jealousy to give singles a heads up as to whether or not their jealousy is healthy, normal or leaning a bit towards the unhealthy side.

What's your opinion on jealousy? Do you think it's healthy in some cases, or does it spell disaster for all dating relationships?
