Do we have the right to restrict the person we are jealous of?

How do you react when you're jealous?

Jealousy is an emotion that emerges from the human being. It can restrict and direct us. But an emotion should not interfere with someone else's private life. Jealousy happens, you express it, but you don't dominate. Let them express that they are jealous and you try to find a middle ground, but I think it is not right to make definite judgments.

Instead of restricting the person you are jealous of, you can try to improve your relationship with them. Jealousy is a result of feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety. Managing and sharing these feelings is the healthiest way to overcome jealousy. Understanding the underlying causes of jealousy and empathizing with him/her can make our relationship more solid.

When a person is jealous of a loved one, trying to dominate their life is an unhealthy and harmful behavior in a relationship. Jealousy is a result of negative emotions such as insecurity, fear, and anxiety. These emotions undermine positive values in the relationship such as trust, respect, love and understanding. Jealousy can lead to problems such as conflict, violence, lying, cheating, and separation in relationships. Jealousy also lowers self-confidence, self-esteem, happiness, and quality of life.

Human beings try to find a balance between love and jealousy. This can sometimes lead to unnecessary arguments and heartbreak. One has to trust the person they love and respect their freedom. This is one of the most basic building blocks of being a family. For the continuity of the family unit, we need to eliminate some of our negative emotions. But it is also natural to be afraid of losing them. Having the right to share his/her life, rather than having the right to dominate it, may be necessary for a healthier relationship.
