Are you a jealous person?

Nephew asked me how it was for my parents when my mom got jealous whenever there's a woman hovering over dad.
I told him the truth. It was chaos. My mom was such a nag. But there's a lot of love between them too. It's just that my dad was quite popular with women and my mom was an insecure one.
Nephew said it's the same with his parents. And he vowed when he gets married, he will never be like them.

I have always been jealous, but not because my husband looked to other women, I was jealous of the time he could dedicate to them, even if it was only for his job or to help. I know he never did anything that he had to hide. My husband feels the same kind of jealousy.

@LadyDuck I would like my man to feel that way too. I do get jealous for the time as well. I would rather they spend time with me. And it' never because of a trust issue.

@toniganzon - I know that he would have been jealous knowing that I accepted to have a drink with someone, not because he did not trust me, but because he would have preferred to be with me for that drink.

My husband always liked to flirt with other women. That bothered me a lot.

I do undestand. Espeically when you love him so much. I think it's offensive that a husband would flirt with other women. Especially when their wife is with them.

@LindaOHio I am so sorry. You loved him so much. It must have hurt.

@toniganzon It still hurts. I can't believe he did that to me. Everyone that knew him knew how much he loved me. He was stupid.

I remember getting jealous when I had to meet my husband at his office. He was a professor and meeting with a gorgeous co-ed. The door was ajar, but I knocked when I heard voices. He raised a finger as if to give him a minute and closed the door in my face. I was so livid and ran into the hall so his secretary wouldn’t see me cry. Today, we laugh about it.

@toniganzon Happy to hear that! I’ll never forget that day. I know students develop crushes on their teachers and professors, and have known professors who have cheated on their wives with students. Some tried with me.
My husband has been faithful to me since the day we met.

I am not a jealous person. These days there are so much of commercial work family members do with outsiders there should be absolute freedom for the same

Normally, it's the wife who's the jealous one.

I'm actually a jealous person especially when it comes to things about other women with my husband.

Because of what I witnessed with my parents, I vowed never to be a jealous one. So I'm really not at all.

Jealousy isn't my thing.
I knew Yvonne would get a lot of attention when I met her,
I quite liked that

It's a real boost when you see other men lusting over your partner and you knowing they have no chance.
Women too, but that's different as special rules apply

My parents weren’t jealous people. I think they both trusted each other so much and were so dedicated to each other that there was no room for jealousy.
However, I don’t know if I would be the same. I’d like to say I’d be like my parents. But I might be more like my sister. While my brother-in-law is not jealous, my sister most definitely is.

My granddad was quite an attractive man and he attracted a lot of women even though those women knew he was married. And one of those women even went to their house when my mom was still a kid and she witnessed all that. My grandmom wasn't a jealous woman and he even understood it. But it stuck to my mom and when she married my dad every single woman who came near my dad, she suspected as his flings and would nag him about it. And my dad was quite a popular man not only to women.

I think there comes a time when we feel a bit insecure.

@toniganzon Yes, I agree. I think that is when you are most likely to get jealous.

@valherma00 I didn't have any relationship other than the one I got married to. But I wasn't jealous at all. It was the opposite. He was unreasonably jealous.

I remember getting jealous of my cousins' attention when I was a kid. I wanted to be their only baby girl.
But a jealous girlfriend, wife or partner, I never was.
