I don't get jealous over things. My last ex wanted me to get jealous at times because she thinks jealousy is another sign of love. We argued so much over that that I just eventually just lied every once in a while that I was jealous when she asked me. And I really do hate lying. Especially in relationships.

But to keep this on topic I'd just like to say that as long as you are honest, make your expectations for each other clear and you can trust each other then there should be no problems and jealousy shouldn't be an issue
Having said that I know am a very jealous person

Jealousy can be cute sometimes. Not so much others. In small doses it shows someone's precious to you. I large doses it shows a serious lack of trust.
I've had a girlfriend get mad at me for getting jealous for good reasons, when guys were clearly crossing boundary lines. But the same girl got super jealous just cause I was talking to another girl, even though I was talking about how great my girlfriend was and how much I loved her.
Jealousy is insecurity. But that's just a normal part of life. If a person is precious to you, you don't want to lose them and in some ways even share them. But like any emotion, it's unhealthy if you let it get out of control. And unhealthier still if it's for good reason and it's not addressed. That just seeds resentment and eventually hate.
Unfortunately, people are always the exception to their own rules. When it's your turn getting jealous, that's always different from when they got jealous towards you.
The anger and outrage toward you for getting jealous even if it's a good reason, is them trying to cover and defend themselves because they know they're in the wrong. And they don't want to admit to it because it makes them the bad guy. So the push the blame off on you saying that you're just being too jealous.
People jumping to anger to scare you out of confronting them for their mistakes isn't good and isn't healthy.
There's sooo many little jealousies that simply aren't worth fighting over. But on somethings you really have every right to stand your ground on and should. Because we all deserve a certain level of respect and consideration when we're in a relationship.

My poor brother just married at the beginning of last July and his wife's true colors are coming out. Don't get me wrong, she is a pretty genuine person. But, she is extremely jealous of my brother's friends who are girls. He tends to gravitate towards girls as friends because he and I have a great bro/sis relationship! So, for him, he can talk to girls better than some guys. I even remember when she would get upset at my bro when he would eat dinner with me and not be back in time to skype her at their usual skype time. lol!!(They have a long distance relationship when she is in school.)
I know its not my place to tell her anything, but, I can sense how it exhaust my brother. It does get bad to the point where she starts being snippy at other females. This even affects how the day goes at the weekend clinic he works at and where I help! I hope it doesn't get detrimental to our business!
He has to drive to work during the weekday and sometimes has to work long hours. You should of seen her when he came home late! She was all pissy! Really?!

That definitely sounds like an unhealthy form of jealousy and a real lack of trust. Who's to say who's place it is to talk to anyone about anything, but you could certain try just politely asking if something's troubling her. She might have a real reason. (a bad past experience maybe) What's really making her so insecure?
That said, it's really tough getting involved with other peoples drama. They often snap at you for poking your nose into their business.
Really it's up to your brother. He simply needs to ask her what's getting her so upset, and figure out how he can curb it himself... that's probably the best idea.
He's got to learn to build trust in their relationship, and ease her anxiety. It's not fair to place all the burden of it on your brother, but it fall onto the guy to make his woman feel loved and secure.
But still, if she can't calm down and learn to trust him. It's going to breed a lot of contempt and anger between the both of them, and their marriage will ultimately fail.
Marriage counseling could be a good idea.

yea she needs to trust him, every healthy relationship needs this, it's unwise of her to be this exaggerating, she shouldn't act like this as she might ruin things between them, she needs to be jealous within reason lol
