Jealousy In Men

How many men do you know that truly admit that they are jealous? I meant that they really showing their vulnerability and tells you in all honestly that they are jealous. If I speak about jealousy, then there are two kind of jealousy. The one that wants to control you and wants you to do everything what he wanted, all hell break lose if you changed your mind, and it come to a point that leads to abuse.

And there are jealousy which I find it very charming, IF they admitted. In this case (not just in case) if you talk with someone, and he felt something burning in his heart, but that's all, it didn't lead him to do anything that might harm you.

So I'm talking about this one, the good heart jealousy. Strangely enough, I've never met someone, believe me I have quite a few male friends, and they are just friends. Some of them are married, or engaged, or even single. I asked them if they feel this feeling of jealousy. To my surprise, they all denied for being jealous. Even that good small burning feelings in their heart, nope they don't feel that. And it's amaze me that they denied to feel such feelings. One of them says it is ok for him whatever she's doing and he wont be jealous. But I found that quite unbelievable. You don't feel a thing if you at a party and see this guy is hitting on your wife and she like it, and you just okay with that? Hmmm, either you love her or you don't care, and if you don't care what she's doing it means you don't love her.

Women do have that jealousy, and they shown it whether you like it or not, and they have the tendency to see their own folks as their competition.

But why men don't or denied having such feelings? Is it something beneath them to admit to have that burning sensation when they see their wife, or girlfriend talking with someone (other male gender) else?



But today I've spoke with someone, and he admit to feel that jealousy in his heart. When I heard that, I need to make sure that what I'm hearing it's true, so I need some confirmation, and for the second time he said, yes I do feel that feelings. He wasn't even reluctant to say it, and then I told him that I've found that quite charming and very disarmingly sweet and charming. So my question now is, how many out there who are really showing what they feels, and how many who try to show it but then for no other reason just hold off? Well to them I would like to say, share it, tell your wife, girlfriend or your new lover about what you feel, as long as this is the good heart jealousy, not the out of control jealousy.


With that one revelation today, I feel quite good to know that somehow there are still some hope for men. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that they are hopeless. Some women thinks that way because they had one or two bad experiences with men, and they started thinking that they are all bad. I have two bad experiences with men, but I never close my heart for them. Being careful doesn't mean that I close my heart for ever.

If they open up, I think what we can do women, is to accept them and love them. They are amazing fun people to be with. If you find the right one. But then there's the clue again, don't go search for them, let them find you, because to go on a hunting expedition it's a guy thing, not women. Ok..I put my MacBook to rest and I too need some rest, it was a long and interesting day for me. I love you, you know who you are.

I think that the reason that most of the men you questioned probably percieved that an admission of jealousy as a sign of weakness. When in truth I believe most men are hurt very deeply by some things that women do, but they do not want to reveal their true feelings because it will reveal their vulnerability. I personally don't view vulnerability as weakness, I realize it is just being human. Aso, when people become jealous, they lose the "control" that we all want to maintain in our lives. No one wants to be "out of control". This is just my take on it.

Jealousy has it's roots in lack of confidence and low self esteem.There are of course trust issues involved as well.If this has been a problem to you in the past,then you would be well advised to seek out a confident man.
Self assured men are so confident in themselves they feel that no woman would ever want to leave them,so they don't have a green eyed monster on their back.
I'm confident to the point of being arrogant,and I've even been a victim of infedility.But it didn't affect me as I realize today why she did it.It wasn't about me at all,it was about her.So my confidence level never changed.
If a man loves you,truly loves you,he won't want to suppress you in anyway.Conversly he'll want to see you develop as a human being and grow.

You completly missed my point and haven't got a clue what I said.This tells me that you're not worth my time or effort.So I'm not going to get into it with you.
You're just a retired guy with too much time on his hands.You're bored and simply looking for an argument,which I'm not prepared to give you.
Oh I wont deliberately making my partner jealous, like most women that will do from time to time, when they need some attention. If I need attention I will just say so.
The different between my partner and I, he was always thinks that I can read his mind, so he never really talk. And I said what's in my mind, what I feel. He always remember which mistake I made, and will throw it back at me when he have something to discus, and I never remembered anything at all. With me was always talk it over and then move on. He will be jealous of me, of my friends, and I never jealous of his women friends. Why should I be jealous? Only because I'm a woman, and it's typical woman thing to be jealous? Not me. I know my capability, I know my talent, my ability, I know who I am and what I want. The difference in us was so great and maybe that's why is our relationship is ended.
As you so aptly put it, jealousy is a double-edged sword. There is a good side and a bad side. The key to mastering jealousy, as well as most other emotional states, is 'balance'. If you can keep your jealousy in balance, then it can be constructive.

I have, many years ago, experienced jealousy. And freely admit it was due to insecurity in myself.

Many men feel that insecurity, especially is their significant other is very attractive. An insecure man will always live in fear of losing the one he loves to someone else.

That insecurity will also cause a man to always think that his love is flirting, always trying to run around on him. Again, insecurity.

It is possible to love someone and yet not be jealous, or feel insecure. But there must be trust between the two individuals. And the man must have good self-esteem.

Like I said before, I will never make my partner jealous. But out of experience, somehow I have two relationships which gone wrong, and both of that ended because they were jealous of me, the fact that I have many friends, and it seems wherever I go I always ended up having new friends, not that I search for it.
And both men in my life, they were always busy looking at the guys that wanted something from me.
Even though I told them, that they need to concentrate on US, not about other people. If I give my heart to someone, it is for that person. I have many friends yes, but that's it, they are just friends. They are not friends with agenda, friends with benefits..no because even though I am open minded, I'm still very old school when comes to relationships.
But it seems both men thinks differently, and in order to make me feel what they felt, they tried to make me jealous by flirting with other women, but that's the thing..I will never ever jealous. To me it's simple, if you do that, it means you are insecure. It means you are not secure of my love, and I can't make you feel secure. You need to do that on your own, the only thing I can give you is my heart and my love, and if that still make you insecure, then..I dont know.
The first thing in relationship, if you feel not comfortable, then you need to talk with the one you're having relationship with, but not go outside and thinking if I do this then maybe she knows what I mean. I am a person when I dont like something I will talk to the person that make me feel that way. I wont talk to a girl friend, or family or other people, but THE person it self. Just straight and open card, this is what I feel, let's resolve it. And when it resolve, it means IT IS RESOLVED. Move on...what's next. Life is short.
