When you say you "tried" a relationship, that's a little confusing. Does this mean that you are no longer in a relationship with this woman? If that's the case, you've gotten a lot of confirmation that her behavior was a bit unreasonable. Maybe this will even help you and others see some "red flags" before getting serious.
Or are you still in a relationship with her and are looking to patch thing up? Posters have offered good tips on how to interact with your ladyfriends, such as not being alone with a female friend, etc. Maybe even initiating a talk where you are just sitting down with your significant other and discussing what is acceptable and what is not regarding this issue would be a great way to show respect and love.

I've heard that the easier a woman becomes jealous the more likely it is she would actually cheat on you. But that's not to say anything for women who have been hurt one too many times in the past.
On a side note I've also heard that women become jealous because too much time is spent with other women. Men become jealous because of ownership/property issues. We view ourselves as being owned by a woman when in a relationship, and we view the woman as belonging to us. We mutually own one another or belong to one another. Now if the woman's heart belongs to another man but our heart still belongs to the woman, then you can imagine the type of indignation we'd have here - having someone weaker than us as our master. We might as well be one of her dogs. Not only that, but we see the woman (what used to belong to us) as being stolen from us by another man. A lot of potential there for some pretty deep feelings. This is probably why a man prefers singleness to being in a relationship with a cheater or a flirt. Being single, they aren't owned by anyone then and are their own masters. It would be hard to continue to be a man in a relationship where a woman was your head.

That's an interesting concept. Sort of like a man being obsessed with honesty in a partner because he himself is dishonest. (From the honesty thread.) We most fear or judge others by our own weaknesses? Makes sense. If you are prone to lie, you'll always suspect someone else of lying. If you are prone to look at other men/women, you'll probably be pretty worried about your spouse doing the same thing.
I used to be extremely jealous. I would always be paranoid that the guys I dated would cheat on me. Well, they did. I chose the wrong men. I also would jump into a relationship before I knew the guy well.
After reevaluating my choices in men I realized I was chasing te wrong guys. Jealousy isn't an issue for me anymore. I also had to get over being burned from past relationships before they ruined future ones.
Jealousy is not a good trait for any gender to have. If you are jealous then something is wrong.
