Some of our partners are really jealousy type. And you should make note to yourself, when they are present, try not to do anything that will provoke their jealousies. For instance, my love one doesn't want to me to talk to other girls closely, or exchange phone numbers without her knowing the reasons. I try to avoid all of that. So, what would you avoid to do? Are they always suspicious?

I am jealous or possessive when it comes to my husband. I am fine with my husband having friends who are girls till he consider him as friends and behave in a friedly manner, but I don't want any of them (my husband or his freinds) to cross the limits. It doesn't mean that I don't trust him or suspect him. I love him so much and trust him blindly. But, I do accept that I am very possessive and it is a fact that 80% of bad things happen in the world because of the influence of situation. On the other hand, he is not possessive at all. He doesn't care to whom I am talking or what I am doing.

What I do to avoid provoking my lover's jealousy is to tell him what my activities of the day, what I'll be doing and where I'll be going. I call him on the phone, chat with him and text him. Before, we always text on our cellphones and it costs us money to pay for loads. Unfortunately, I lost my cellphone while walking on downtown, it was snatched from me. Anyway, I still find ways, I call him on land line. It's a matter of telling each other what we are doing and where we are going. We also have to trust our lover. Sometimes during our conversation my partner can't help to be suspicious on my actions in school because I'm still studying and he just graduated, staying home with her mom. He really gets mad especially if he misses me so much, what I do is to give her a hug and a loving kiss and let him feel there is nothing to worry about.

My bf is such a jealous guy because he loves me so much and he's away from me. I just don't lie to him if ever I am going out and there are some cases that he would even call me up to see who's with me. Most of the time, one of my sisters is with me so I let him talk to my sisters if possible. He would be happy and not worried if my sister is with me.

Well in order to keep the jealousness away you have to trust one another to begin with. Now my partner hes a jealous person a very jealous person and i do end up explaining things to him in the end. I do have male friends as he does female friends which thats the way all guys and girls are. I get along better with a male than i do with a female and he gets along better with all.

My husband is really a type of jealous man. He don't want me to stare at other guy. Even though I'm not intended to stare on the guy he will ask me if I like the guy. Very annoying sometimes.

Hi, thanks for sharing this good topic. I guess i will do the same thing as you, i'll try to avoid to be so close to my gal friends, so that i won't provoke my gf's jealousy. Although she knows that gal friend is just friendship, but try to avoid it.

My fiance has a small jealous streak, but not to the point that I have to avoid doing anything. In our line of work we become close with the others on our crews (we are both firefighters, I'm wildland, he's structure). He also knows that for the most part I'm the only female on my crew, and when seeing guys that I have worked with in the past, we normally hug. But he's okay with that, he knows that it is just two friends greeting each other and nothing more. I think the only time he would show his jealousy would be if someone was actually hitting on me, which I would probably put an end to before he could have a chance to say anything lol. We have full trust in each other, so it's really not an issue.

i avoid wearing certain things around other people. i love costumes and dressing up, but if i'm with another of my guy friends and he's not there, he doesn't like me to wear my costumes, i guess in case they get any 'ideas'. otherwise he's not very jealous. overly jealous boyfriends drive me nuckin futs@! i like to be able to do my own thing. i really get along better with girlsthan with guys and they need to be able to accept that.

Well my would be husband is not a jealous person but he is possessive about me as I am about him :P So even when he is not arounf I don't do anything that he won't like if he was there. As I am a muslim girl with good family values so I have always kept some distance from other guys and I don't like to get very frank with everyone and tolerate their non-sense. Same way I would like him to keep some distance from other girls and don't get very frank with them and also don't tolerate any non-sense from them :P Like I do.

I am a jealous person and very possesive too, if i talk about who i really love. Is my nature, and i can t change this, even sometimes i want change this. One thing i can t forgive in my life. When somebody i live betray me. Who is not just a little jealous is not in love. Of course not to much, this is a feeling, not a obsession. I am just in love not sick. But if he betray me, i try to make him to be jealous too.
