17 Jealousy Quotes Will Inspire You To Ditch That Green-Eyed Monster

We've all been jealous and we've all gotten hurt. If you're in the right relationship, though, most moments will offer feelings of security, of easy calmness, and your relationship will exude confidence — even if there is turbulence all around you. 

During the first few disagreements in a relationship there might be fleeting moments of doubt — but they shouldn't last long.

In general, though, the feeling you get at the beginning is, to say the least ... bliss. Everything you've waited for, making you believe that all the pain that you've ever gone through could have been worth it.

But soon after that initial daze has worn off, jealousy might start to set in gradually — might even be considered cute at first, as that dreadful feeling of "that girl's flirting with my boyfriend" is seemingly normal.

Jealousy may be healthy in small doses, but jealousy that slowly takes over your life paves a rocky path if you can't snap out of it. And it can totally kill your awesome love

Suddenly it goes from healthy to detrimental —  any girl on your boyfriend's recent texts or the name of an ex might trigger an emotional breakdown.

It gets in the way of your life, making you feel guilty and eats away at you. You might not even notice the distress until you breathe out a sigh of relief at the sight of his name on your screen.

But here's the thing: he chose YOU.

If he didn't want to be with you, he wouldn't be; you're sensational, and you have to remember that — because insecurity is unattractive and could fatefully push him away.

He loves you.

Oversimplified: jealousy betrays you and causes the exact reaction that you're hoping to avoid.
