They can\u2019t handle it,\u201d Hartley continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily sad but it is just true that when you have a relationship that you really care about [and] it could be a friendship, it could be with your mom or your dad or it could be with your dog.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAny relationship that you have with yourself, there are going to be people that you have to be careful with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hartley clarified that the problem isn\u2019t always that about a loved one \u201ctrying to sabotage\u201d a situation or relationship. In fact, he argued, they might not know they\u2019re being harmful at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not bad people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey just can\u2019t handle it. And you don\u2019t need to be hearing things like that. I\u2019m not saying that you should be surrounded by sycophants and that\u2019s healthy. But there\u2019s certainly a difference between someone rooting for your love and rooting for your relationship vs. something who is jealous of what you have.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:150%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium credit-added wp-image-4328809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Justin Hartley\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=100&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 100w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=200&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=300&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=400&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=500&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=600&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=700&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 700w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=900&amp;quality=74&amp;strip=all 900w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=74&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1400&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=62&amp;strip=all 1600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1800&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=1920&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1920w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1354153557.jpg?w=2400&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 6em), (max-width: 1000px) 80vw, 1000px\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Miikka Skaffari\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hartley recalled being in a similar situation in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve certainly in my life been jealous before, no question,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s never once serviced me in any way positively at all \u2014 ever \u2014 to be envious or anything like that.
