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.

@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.

@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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

A tiny bit I guess. More protective of my husband than jealous.
