When you are in a relationship jealousy will be its finest form could be normal and acceptable. If it bothers you to communicate to draw boundaries as a couple and negotiate a mutually nurturing and supportive relationship, there is nothing wrong with it.

In the below examples you might feel insignificant and jealous. At such times it's necessary to communicate the need for a mutually nurturing and loving relationship with both protecting the space of being each other's 'important other'.

1. Like if your partner's ex-keeps in touch with your partner as a 'friend' but needs extreme attention while ignoring and disregarding you and your presence as his partner in his life.

2. If your partner spends extreme time socialising alone with people without you and insists on such individual fun more often than not.

3. If your partner ignores you while socialising as a couple but gives extreme attention to others.

4. If your partner is ready to appreciate others in elaborate ways but is either criticising you or rarely acknowledges you.

5. If well-meaning help from you and constructive feedback is ignored, while at the same time, the same advice from certain others is keenly and attentively listened to.
