Jeaslosy. Good or Bad?

Is jealousy a good thing or a tiresome annoyance?

My Girlfriend works in a casino as a dealer. The atmosphere lends itself to a certain amount of behavior that would be sexual harassment anywhere else but is tolerated up to a certain point in her work. I visit her at work from time to time (we work different jobs and shifts so I usually go up and have coffee with her on her break). A couple of her supervisors and co-workers have gotten a little touchy with her (shoulder rubs, etc). I have made a point of introducing myself (simply a "hello, my name is . . ") and have consequently gained a reputation as a "jealous boyfriend" with her male co-workers.

Thoughts?

Can somebody fix the misspelling in the title?

I have a hard time seeing how jealousy would be a good thing.

Jealousy is a bad thing, mostly.

Now, let's get some detail here...
How does your girlfriend feel about the "touching"? Could it be completely platonic? Lord knows I've rested an arm or hand on a friend's shoulder without it being a "bad touch". If she's cool with it, then you've got to figure out your issue.

Clearly, if people are calling you a jealous boyfriend, then you're actions are coming off stronger than you think.

What is your body language giving off?

Are you peeing on her to mark your territory?

LOL.

LMAO!!!

Jealousy is a bad thing. It reeks of insecurity and possesviness.

A little jealousy can be a good thing. Complacence can drain the life out of a relationship.

All emotions can be harmful if handled incorrectly. I have always felt that jealosy is a good thing.

How is jealousy a good thing? I'm not seeing that.

It depends on how you express it. If you express jealousy by demanding that your partner not interact with other people, that's being a control freak. If you express it by working to keep your partner's interest--romancing them, taking them out for dates that cater to what they like, and so on--that's definitely a good thing.

It's nice to know someone cares however jealousy in my opinion is trying to take control of who can interact with your significant other.
To exemplify my friend just got out of an abusive relationship. His jealousy started out with the opposite sex and eventually he pushed her friends away and he tried to burn bridges with her family. He wanted to control who she interacted with and have her all to himself. That is not healthy. (They're currently in the process of getting a divorce).

I don't know if that's jealousy. It seems like it's just taking an interest in your girl and being a good bf.

But never the less I learned something.

If I'm honest . . .possibly marking my territory but not consciously.

She doesn't care for touching. Recognizes that its inappropriate but doesn't make waves.

The specific guys that Ive made a point of introducing myself too have asked her out knowing that she's living with me. They both have a reputation for being touchy and at least one has been reprimanded for it with a patron.

She's fine with my current level of jealousy and has expressed delight that I'm attached enough/protective enough to make the effort and give her the attention.

This is my issue. I feel like I should be more laid back but react anyway. It also a reason why a threesome wouldn't be an option.

I encourage her to have friends and we have had former boyfriends (hers) and girlfriends (mine) over to the house at different times.

We both have friends outside of our relationship (kind of have to since she works 6pm to 2am and I work 9am to 5 pm most days) that we spend time doing things with. I'm not THAT controlling (although I do occasionally select her lingerie for her )

As I said, this likely my issue. . . .I strongly dislike the idea of these guys touching her in any way and shes kind of submissive and wont stand up for herself.

Yeah, that sounds like your problem.

although:

I'm guessing there's something else going on here.

i'm curious . . . .what else do you think is going on?

like what?
