following is a quote from Wikipedia about Radha:
"
Radha’s love towards Krishna in the terrestrial or customary meaning is not just the relation between a man and woman. The feeling of this love is divine and phenomenal which gives this love a pious form. The philosophical side of this reduces the distance of the support and supportive, also the difference between the worshipper and worshipful is not there. Krishna is the life of Vraj; Radha is the soul of Krishna. That is why, it is said, “Atma Tu Radhika Tasya” (Radha, you are His soul). One form of Radha is, she is a devotee, worshipper of Krishna and in the second form she is the worshipful, devoted by Krishna. ‘Aradhyate Asau itii Radha.’ Radha – Krishna’s love is the symbol of the feeling of being united. When two souls are united, the difference of the other or the second vanishes.Her father Vrsabhanu was the king of cowherds Gop. Vrsabhanu was a partial incarnation of Lord Narayana while her mother Kalavati was a partial incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi."
So it seems that their relationship includes all the rays. Together they incorporate the yin/yang, male/female sides of the creator. So of course if there is separation, there is a feeling of jealousy, a longing to become one again.
I don't see jealousy as necessarily being a desire to control. Rather, as I said above, I see it as a sadness of separation. The loss of part of yourself with whom you long to be reunited.
