A Jealous Woman

So, is it true a jealous woman does better research than the FBI? Have you ever wanted to research what your significant other was up to when you weren't around and if you ever did, was he cheating on you? I had been in this situation before. I found out he was cheating (years ago but it was devastating to me)! :(

Actually, that is true. But a woman does not have to be jealous for that. I think we get naturally interested in finding out what our partners are up to especially if they are not communicative enough. Their change in behavior also makes our antenna alert! But it is a fact that women are more intuitive than men. Also we have never been taught to share our men with other women. So we hate to see the entry of the third party. I haven't been in that position though. However, I had a friend who was extremely interested in finding out everything about her boyfriend. They were faithful to her, but somehow it never made sense to her. She actually wanted her boyfriends to list the happenings of their lives everyday. If she found out that they skipped something she raised hell. But yes, cheating is not digestible. It is an act that can leave a relationship or marriage completely destroyed. I know some girlfriends and wives can forgive their partners' cheating behavior. But it does not last very long. Things somehow turn messy.

I think that it could be true. The drive that seems to take over a woman that feels she is being cheated could move mountains across a field! It seems to come from this unrelenting force inside that just wont stop and go away! It even gets obsessive at times. Making the jealous woman seem insane! I have felt this before and yes they both were cheaters.

Exactly, the motivation is undescribable I'm sure. I hope that when you caught them you dumped them both, as once a cheater always a cheater.

In a way i think the persons who people think are jealous are not.they think what they are donig is very important.In fact if people turn a blind eye on those who are trying to cheat them , they will get hurt. What matters is that people should identify what is jealous and what is not.

Arch, Yes it is hard to define the true jealous person sometimes, jealousy is usually someone who envies another person. But it also has different meanings such as when someone is mean to someone and act like they hate them, too. Jealousy can be anything you want it to mean, in some cases.

humer, I can see your point too. You need to always be alert in your relationship it seems to know what is going on with your lover and what can be done to help the issues and situations that turn up suddenly.

i dont think that being jelous drives a woman to keep check on her partner.Its an instinct that comes from within.And who wouldnt care for what her partner is upto,since she is in a relationship with her partner.

I, from what little I can understand in this discussion, because language difficulties (you have to understand me, I'm Italian), you have had problems, I think I understood that in practice you have been betrayed by your man, and now you're very bad about this episode. If this is so, I can understand your pain, but I think you have to react and move on. I write this, however, is only my personal opinion. If you by chance have argue to this comment, go ahead.

Yes I understand you not to worry. I had this happen many years ago and have not really had anymore like it since but evenstill I was wondering if other types of women who are the jealous type have experienced this. Not me personally in general being jealous, sorry if that came out wrong. I have moved on quite alot. No, not going to argue, LOL. Thanks for the input though, it was a pleasure!

a woman who was jealous to her mate may be based on the great love to her mate ,let her , it is just only one form of her love from her mate ,but when she has over jealous just advice her and believe her that your love just for her. i often do same research for my mate that she was cheating or not ,my research declared that may girlfriend was not cheating , then one day i repeat my research and the result were same. now i never do same research again i just learned to believe that she is faithful. if only she was cheating ,let her , my be she was not the best for us although we think she was the most beautiful in our lives . remember !someone who we fell and think most beautiful was ever present in our lives is no necessarily the best for us and otherwise someone who we fell and think is not the most beautiful who ever present may be the best person to company our live.

I am told for some it means they care alot, and it's how they show their love, as they don't show it much in other ways. But everyone is different, we all are individuals who do things for so many different reasons, it's hard to just generalize with it and the reasons behind jealous, passion, or even instinct alone.

I concur with the fact that a jealous lover can research better than FBI but to me, jealousy should be controlled. most time that i've known,jealousy stems out of outright distrust on the partner. Therefore if a lover has asp of jealousy, then the lover doesn't trust the partner and most times the relationship is ruined. it is safe to be jealous but over jealousy will not produce any positive result in relationship or marriage.

Jealousy can be controlled by some, but others not so much. It's all different with different people, but it would be a boring world if we were all the same, wouldn't it? Jealousy does stem from not feeling like the other person is trustworthy, of course. I know we have to beleive that ourselves are trustworthy as well, in some cases or we won't be trusted also.

I accept the fact that human being with different Character and that it would be a boring world if everyone have the same mentality. I believe that in any relationship or marriage,There is probability of been jealous may be due to lack of trust, understanding or something, yet a lover must be mature to accommodate his/her partner's attitude if they truly want the relationship to work out.Like a Chinese proverb that ( A horse with two masters is always skinny and the ship with two captains sinks) What i mean by should be controlled is Maturity.

i think its an instinct of a woman that make the doubt to be true or almost true, i also believe that the instinct of a woman is very accurate when it turn about the other half are doing something behind her back and their relationship even you didnt search or investigate about it, it will come eventually true. And its really painful when the times that your doubt become true and still denied it about it even its was obvious about it.

Yes many women are right with their instincts about this subject, although my mother never was but she had issues with her own father so that sparked it I'm sure, as I said. Very painful indeed when it happens to you so maybe it is good to know things and be prepared for what to do in the future about it.

yes true, jealous woman is a great detective. when a woman is jealous, it will turn her into something his man never knew she could be. i have been through this stage, and it's a woman instinct i guess that she will she is being cheated even without evidence yet. she will know if his man is seeing someone and she will never stay put and do nothing about it. once you have been cheated, you will always feel insecurity until all the trust is back and it takes time. because every time you remember it, the memories suddenly flashback and all the pain that it have caused you. anyways, we should always trust our man and when he broke that goodluck to him :)

whoa, you got it. sometimes we think of jealous only as a bad thing but in this case i would say it isn't so bad afterall if the things she is finding turn out to be true, otherwise it might just make her look like a crazy woman, or what you call stalker, etc. i guess. sadly that is true about once you have been cheated on and making you insecure. my mother's father cheated on her mother and i think that might have been a factor oh why my mother always felt insecure and accused my dad of cheating. she had some sisters though and i'm not sure if all of them had issues of that kind but they all stayed married to the end as well, no matter what.

Yes, it is true that a jealous woman would be a better researcher than the FBI; however, if you do that you are opening yourself to pain and disappointment. I want to give my significant other some form of freedom to do as he wishes but I just hope he remain trustworthy. My significant other used to be open with what he has been doing with his life when I am not around. He would often tell me about what transpired in the job and everything else until lately that he has become somewhat secretive. I feel that there is another woman; however, I will not waste my time doing extensive research. I would rather spend my time online and earn some money. I am not opening myself to more pain. If he leaves me, then I will just have to accept it and do my best to move on.

Yahnee is the pain and disappointment better than the not knowing at all? Yes it is respectable to give him some freedom and such but if you suspect something, it sometimes is right and you are better off alone than with someone who doesn't truly love you.

I don't think a woman gets jealous when they find out that their loved one is cheating on them. It is more emotional than that. Furious, hurt, resentment and a devastating loss to name a few. It is amazing that a determined woman can look into avenues that can track down what went wrong and what their significant other was up to. I have heard stories from a lot of people that have been in a similar situation before. It is always good to have someone to talk to and be there for you if this every happens because you need all the friends you can get and a shoulder to cry on and a person to confide in. Otherwise the emotions just bottle up and make you feel worse. Sorry to hear that you had to experience this!

OK, all those emotions are involved I agree. There are so many emotions that go through her head when she finds out something like he might be cheating, I have to admit. Determination is what makes her feel like going out there and doing something to find out for sure and do whats necessary to either fix things or make them stop one way or another with their relationship somehow.
