Is jealousy a sign of love or insecurity?
My partner gets extremely jealous when I talk to other people even in innocent situations. They say it's because they love me so much. But it feels controlling. Is jealousy actually love?

Jealousy is almost always about insecurity, not love. Healthy love includes trust. Extreme jealousy is a warning sign for controlling behavior.

A little jealousy is normal but when it becomes controlling it crosses a line. Set clear boundaries about what you will and won't accept.
