I believe jealousy is a natural part of relationships. Even marriage. I am newly married and get jealous over things, that maybe i shouldn't, but I still do. Step-kids, my time with my husband and just little things. But, I don't let it get to me. And if I do over react then I apologize for my actions later.

If you dont get a little jealous you are not human or you might not really care about that other person that you are with.

We tend to think of jealousy as a single emotion, but actually it is a whole bundle of feelings that tend to get lumped together. Jealousy can manifest as anger, fear, hurt, betrayal, anxiety, agitation, sadness, paranoia, depression, loneliness, envy, coveting, feeling powerless, feeling inadequate, feeling excluded. This is taken from a paper I have on jealousy. I wish it were still on the internet but it isn't. I would send it to you if I knew where to send it.

The primitive sort!

Nope, it most certainly is not. It might be to immature teenagers or adults but its not normal. "It is not an inevitable emotion and it is not a regular part of healthy relationships. Jealousy does not prove that you love someone, and it is not a standard part of a relationship. Jealousy is rooted in insecurity or fear of loss."
