Is jealousy another form of love?

it is a deviant manifestation of love. Jealousy is a form of love albeit a harmful and dangerous kind if not controlled properly,but it can also be useful as long as the person can distinguish when enough is enough and not let the jealous tendencies we all have take control.

Love is two-way traffic, anything else is not love.\n\nInfatuation, lust, temptation, a crush - maybe these but not love (yet).

Yes, they can.  It's one of those strange things that only adults seem to understand.  Even then only to a certain point.  Many of us hate someone but love them at the same time.  For example in my own way I will always love my ex, he was the first real love of my life and in my own way I will always love him.  But, on the other hand, I hate his guts for what he did to me, how he treated me, what he put me through, etc.  It's strange, like eating chocolate on broccoli, but it is a common things.

I think so man...maybe not as far as health sciences are concerned but love eats you up like AIDS man...it blinds you from any thing concurrent with the loved person particularly negative stuff...not to imagine what it can drive u to do if the love is only one-sided...that is your partner doesn't (or no longer) share(s) the same affection as you do....

well technically lust is a subset of Love after u remove sacrifice and caring from love. So i would say yes it is important to keep the wild side in the relation burning.

If there is, then they were not honest with themselves or just suppressing feelings. jealousy is natural, how you handle it is the differentiator. Everybody feels it at some point in their life.

There are different kinds of jealousy...and I think the bad,destructive kind stems from insecurity. The good kind of jealousy is the kind that keeps us from making a serious mistake.What I mean by that is, to be jealous not of your husband, but of your MARRIAGE.If you are jealous of your marriage,you will not let anything come between you and your spouse..not arguements,space,another person,etc...\n                Did this make any sense?  LOL!!

its a natural instinct to want to love/lust someone and since there are so many people that you have to use your hearts judgment ,and as you said, test the waters a bit seeking that one of your preference.

Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.\nIn ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself.\n\nThe concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages—though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry. Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being a quantity which is spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life.\n\nCultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love". Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value", as opposed to relative value.\n>r

Jealousy is a wasted emotion. It makes neither one of you happy and doesn't prevent the other from doing what they want, or what you don't want them to; so what's the point?

Absolutely--love and hate actually go hand-in-hand. You can feel true hate for someone you love, because they are the ones you can feel most hurt by. Remember, the opposite of love is not hate--it is indifference.

Admittedly, the definitions for envy and jealousy in our culture may be very similar.  However, there has been extensive philosophical debate as to whether or not jealousy and envy are, in fact, the same emotion.  \n\nI believe that they are not the same emotion because whereas jealousy indicates a concern for losing something precious to the person experiencing the jealousy; envy seems to refer to a distorted perception of one's success or prosperity in competition or relationship to that [the succes or prosperity] of another - and clearly, the "alleged" opponent is, undeservedly, far better off, as far as the envious person is concerned.  Likewise, the way I see it, jealousy seems more concerned with someone keeping what they have, while envy appears to extend to acquiring things others have, and thereby depriving them of pleasure or enjoyment of those things.\n\nCrimes or offenses committed as a result of jealousy have frequently been categorized as "crimes of passion."  A wife who catches her husband 'in flagrante delicto' with another man or woman might be inclined to kill.  This would be considered a crime of passion.  Crimes or offenses commited as the result of envy usually tend to encompass the corruption, or contamination of anything which was once good, pure or otherwise outstanding.  An adult who is dissatisfied with his mate because they are no longer attractive may put himself in a situation where his involvement ends up emotionally scarring, if not destroying a budding relationship between two impressionable young people.  \n\nLastly, the mathematics of jealousy and envy are quite different, too.  Jealousy involves three people to complete its equation, but envy only requires two individuals to manifest itself.  \n\nHere is an example of jealousy:  A husband might be jealous of his wife's long-standing friendship with her high-school sweetheart because he fears that she doesn't like him as much as she does her high-school sweetheart.\n\nHere is an example of envy:  A husband wishes he were more prosperous in life like his wife's high-school sweetheart, whom he despises for being so successful, because his wife sometimes reminds him that he could've done better, or made different choices - which makes him [the husband] feel like a loser.

well i don't know, it seems most people feel obsession or lust and mistake it for love. i think its not imagining yourself without that person. not remembering your life before them, and the melting feeling you get when you look into there eyes,,,but this is probably not so cause i haven't found it

I think it's jealousy more than love.. maybe you only want him because you don't want anyone else to have him!
