Salute family - y'all know I don't create threads often, but it's my semi-annual thread starter time. Ok, I'm going to suspend my usual ignant-azz persona and be serious, just for this thread....you guys may not recognize me for a moment. How do you guys feel about jealousy? I know we've had threads about this before, but now we have new family on-board. For example, if I was in a relationship, I would absolutely want my mate to have some jealously. I don't mean schizo-type jealousy. I mean, "Why-are-you-at-the-titty-bar-when-you-got-a-woman-at-home" jealousy....and no, I'm not interested in going to a titty-bar with my woman. I'd go with a jump-off in a heartbeat, but not the woman I profess to be with for the rest of my life. I believe in boundaries in a marriage/relationship. ThickShawty touched on it in another thread. I like that fact that a woman would take ownership over me and the relationship. I want her to get pissed if I look at another ass...yes fellas, I do. I want her to check-me if I get out of bounds. Why? I'm a very undisciplined person and I do wreckless shit all the time. Hence, I'd appreciate a woman forcing me to button-up my collar and forcing me to reach my potential and live-out the values I proclaim to have....follow me??? Anywho, what's your thoughts on that family? Everybody has a different perspective. :yawinkle:
Yea I think a lil bit of jealously in a relationship is healthy. I wouldn't want psycho shit like you said, but there is nothing wrong with caring enough to get jealous. It's when it gets controlling that it needs to be checked.
:smt029....that's exactly my point. If a female doesn't care that I'm out all night - then I better re-evaluate our status real quick.
Sounds like suspicion more than jealousy to me...and I dont like outward displays of jealousy, which I think some ppl like their mate to show.
You'll have to elaborate. Suspicion suggests you have something to be suspicious of, such as violating any boundaries that said man & woman have agreed upon.
This is exactly the reason why my wife gives me sort of lee-way to look and friendly shit talk with other females. Because my ass is at home doing what I should be doing when it comes to her and our kids and I'm not out with my boys in the clubs or bars getting into trouble.
Is her jealousy a suspicion of your character, or is she just exhibiting fanciful emotion? Seems like the only reasons a woman might be jealous.
