JEALOUSY AND ITS EFFECT TO OUR RELATIONSHIP

One of the darkest sentiment ever given to us, human, when it comes to love, is this feeling, JEALOUSY. At least to me quite parallel to HATE, AND EVEN ENVY. But in a love relationship between lovers, this seems to me the most elaborate reason why our love ends or die even as we declare, proclaim that our love will never die. It will last forever. It will weather all the dark storms we will have to face. Challenges we will confront will not prevail because we love each other so much. In fact, TILL DEATH DO US PART?(not really till jealousy kills our love?) Then one day. Bam! Someone was brave enough to give you the bad news that actually you are not the only one in his or her heart. How do we handle it? Is there a system quite established to follow? So we are not going to be a victim of this crippling, damaging feeling?


All through the years, my personal observation, at least to most of my friends, and those that are known to me, including but not limited to so many famous people is the feeling of jealousy that which eroded that beautiful, heavenly, pure love we once had.

Cheating, triggers, this emotion. Then it escalates to a very hurtful feeling. The problem is, when in the beginning when there is not yet enough and or sufficient evidence, as to the existence of insincerity, or disloyalty or cheating from whom we love, how do we address it? Will our preliminary steps, account to the success and or failure of our goal? Which is of course to either, re cement and or end our relationship. Taken into considerations are the time and effort we have been with him or her that we love. When do we walk away and when do we forgive. And if we do forgive, is there any sufficient success? Or is the passion diminished and dead?

If you stay, why? If you decide not to why?

Thanks all for your participation.

NOTE: IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR FEELINGS WITH OUR REASON? AND OR LOGIC? TO TEMPER AND GUIDE OUR REACTION AND EVENTUAL DECISION? QUESTION? RELIABILITY OF OUR FEELINGS? IS IT A MATTER FOR AND AGAINST THE HEART AND THEREFORE, WONT EVER USE REASON? FOR FORGIVENESS? REMEMBER THAT WE AREN'T PERFECT LIKE SPOCK..OR THERE WOULD BE NONE OF THESE TO BEGIN WITH?

I agree with you Imo, but before you do anything it is just your guts? telling you? No other specific? Could it be that your feeling is unfounded? What if there is a set up? You know what I mean. I think my point is more focused on the preliminary ground upon he encroachment of such guts occurs. But I agree with you. When trust is eroded, it is dead. But before that would you at least understand what and why it happened?

thanks

I voted NO for blind jealousy. It is very destructive. But it doesn't matter if only a little bit. I like a guy who doesn't allow me to get drunk with another hot guy in the club. That would be so weird if he is not jealous with me at all at that moment.

Since every couple has exclusivity, they will lose certain parcentage of their freedom. We cannot do anything we want like it used to be. In contrary, some people yell out loud about freedom yet cry out loud when their partners chat with another hotties. If either party knows how to respect each other and knows how to behave in relationship, jealousy shouldn't be there. We are not 100% free in this world. We are charged to some responsibilities. wave
first I apologize to you Pedalgy. My deep and sincere apology for your namebouquet gift

rolling on the floor laughing laugh frustrated handshake wow uh oh doh confused help
Thanks Virgo for joining. I am just laughing because it actually happened to one of my best friend??? would you believe hat? Of course the real friend had to tell the "friend" who is most likely to be hurt when a relationship is developing between he two and bam just disappears???? Hmmnn help. I don't know Virgo

On the side, thanks for you joining us. and my friend, lives there now from my country, California..bouquet
wave Virgo, why join a singles site if he is not going to chat?
yes that's right ...why indeed ? did he think he could out smart her with poetry and long winded mindless long letters ....wave
Good point pedalguy, but what if he already found his love, at least if that is what he is telling her? In my case of my friend, she stopped communicating and took off her profile but for some reason he stayed? and din't question him? that boggles me, too.

Srfrustrated confused help sigh
Wow Virgo I like your argument, very good reason? Perhaps he made a commitment to stay because of those powerful words scattered up in the air? "For her?" sort of?

hmmnndoh rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing laugh laugh uh oh dunno blues
More than one partner would just complicate one's life.
Godaniel, exactly, the question is: How do we addressed it? first hand information thread on the events? How do we face that most dreadful accountability of asking and or presenting? dunno professor professor professor roll eyes confused confused uh oh
@ Dniel, sorry about the typo on the ADDRESS..as in addressing the matter first hand..dunno
It is as a matter of fact pedalguy. I read in one's letter to me, he mentioned. He could hardly handle one bevvy and sassy woman, how much more ot two or three? Yet we both know it does have a thrill for the most part on the man? After all you admitted, it is outright lie? Right? Why did you lie to begin with?frustrated uh oh dunno
Johnny, question for you. first I love to acknowledge your participation very strongly because you seem to be the first to admit the benefit of a little bit of that but what is little and not too much? Scenario please? If you don't mind?moping blues scold roll eyes help
so how long now befor she tell's him she has someone else , or is she going to make him hang on knowing it will kill him ....wave
@Sundayrose...... I think in a situation like this the best thing to do would be to leave the relationship before it gets out of control and before unpleasant words are exchanged. So my answer would be run the other way as fast as you possibly can!!
Virgo like the song? HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON? Like it will make a difference? But maybe? If it were only last week? Or if it were last year? First of all will he or she ever tell how long?roll eyes scold help dunno frustrated confused
wave Actually, post a thread and watch all the different
opinions. It is black and white for me, it might not be with
others.
That is after it is proven that she is really lying to you? right? No postulating discussion? No reasoning? No justification? So that's it? Okey granting, it was just a little bit like Johnny said? Or big or small is the same? Daniel?roll eyes scold frustrated dunno moping crying
I like your reason Pedalguy, I am not questioning your stand on it. heck as far as I am concerned, we all make mistake? Who knows, what if the girl, is the one who really is persistent on the guy, yet knowing he is with a lovely love already, would you pin that against your man?
SCENARIO, OPTIONAL ON THIS ARGUMENT..IF JESUS WHO IS A SON OF GOD, HAD BEEN TEMPTED FOR SO MANY TIMES, HE IS GOD, CAN HE ALMOST GAVE UP, would that, for purposes of argument be enough to look at it from the gray area? Of our feeling? I think question is how RELIABLE, IS OUR FEELING TO SUFFICE WITH LOGIC AND REASON?frustrated frustrated confused confused help help
only if he's living with them all .....at the same time ..wave
Well would that make it justified? Virgo to feel jealous?help confused roll eyes professor professor dunno mumbling uh oh
Cat good evening my friend? Not sleepy eh? Thank you for joining us on the most celebrated culprit of relationship dominion. The double bladed umbrella of culprit hovering around us always, regardless of time and weather.. I like that, in fact, I personally am a very sensitive person, but I do feel that when it warrants the erosion of my trust even before that sacred binding of trust is surfacing, I would address the matter politely, civilly and without intellectualizing it, but rather, with compassion coupled with reason.

And yes I agree, the POSSESSIVENESS IS THAT WHICH BURY THE RELATIONSHIP TO ITS ULTIMATE DEMISE. And I am not accountable to that area???? At least (yet) that I know of in my 50 some years of existence... Cat? Great POINT. Cat. How lucky and blessed is my friend. I tell you that.. congratulations..bouquet handshake handshake cheers cheers
Hello SR,

It would be very difficult to give a scenario about what is the right about of jealousy. I think it would depend on the individuals in the relationship. Some individuals may not tolerate any of it; whereas, another couple may find it endearing to have just a little where it shows him or her the partner cares.

I really do not know. That is why communication within a relationship is critical. Or when it comes to dating women, be a mind reader.... laugh It helps to be able to identify the language of the non-verbal cues.
well noted Johnny. Yes that is the key to understanding everything that a relationship is going through. But even after being an expert in this area, it doesn't trigger the stop button of feeling jealous, at least that I know of? Nor our feelings respect and give us the benefit of being an orator to this effect.

HISTORICAL POINT. SHAKESPEARE ELABORATED ON THE MAIN REASON WHY A GREAT MAN, ACCORDING TO THE PEOPLE OF ROME THROUGH MARK ANTHONY'S SPEECH HAD BEEN BRUTALLY KILLED BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY? Yet they were all pictured as great communicator? Conclusion: for me, the commission of the act of jealousy has no bearing to our expertise in the field of communicating albeit it will work after the act is done and we are ironing out. correct? Maybe?? professor professor professor roll eyes roll eyes roll eyes dunno dunno dunno help help confused confused frustrated frustrated uh oh uh oh
Maybe the secret of not becoming jealous is not to become too emotionally immersed in somebody else. In other words, become emotionally wise??

Just a thought. Might be easier said than done.
Or should I say, Even I am confused now with this most intriguing nature of man, called jealousy..help crying blues dunno frustrated doh
I like how you address the Monks. Eckhart Tolle's teachings stem a lot from Buddhism. Have you ever listened to his teachings? You can find a lot of his stuff on Youtube. Once you grasp what he is talking about, he is teaching something so simple. It took me about 3 years of listening to him...probably about 100 hours total. It is something where I needed to go back periodically to get a "refresher" on what he was saying. Most humans are conditioned from birth to use their brains in certain ways....which requires thinking. He basically teaches you how not to think. If you have not listened to him, you would be amazed how different life can be for you. With a person's mind full of thoughts all of time, one can miss a lot of beautiful things in life. With an open mind, I found I think better....laugh funny how that works. I would encourage everybody to check him out. I think his teachings really worked for me because when I discovered him, I was at rock bottom in my life....emotionally speaking.
well you could go and dig a hole to burry him in banana
yes its all about how to heal the one who got hurt the most from the affair and making the other suffer your feelings to the fullest intensity .....thumbs up
@sundayrose1

Biggest mistake I ever made was to say that yes there are better looking women in the world and there are also better looking men but I chose you.... unfortunately only the first sentence ever registered in their brain cells. Then spent the next 25 yrs trying to convince they was the one...frustrated but eventually was all loved out.. and now the inevitable over.
Virgo I hear ou. Its all about how the other feels.

Thanks again. Virgo

SR
First thank you so much for joining in. Second I'm a a little confused? Meaning you should have?been more understanding?

SR
If a woman wants another guy that's ok with me. I just walk away and don't look back. It's funny because a few have wanted to come back to me and I just don't go back.

No connection because there's no feelings. It's a simple matter. If she's tired of me there is no way I am going to try to convince her to stay!
Very well noted Cat. And yes I know how you feel. You must be so strong. You just turn your feelings as if it has a button?

Thanks for your participation.

Men Who are jealousy of me , I have had plenty.
Thats very difficult to handle for the other person, its so destructive to them , i try always to nip it in the bud by relating it to the issue of trust.
I would rather walk away then and there if the man has doubts if he could trust me or not. Because i know if he cannot that will always be' his problem , not one i am willing to deal with. Simply because I know myself very well.
If hes the type that feels jealousy over every man looking at me , then its a problem of possessivenes, and what woman Wants to live with that ?
After all , he likes me because i look good, then hes jealous because other men thInk the same.
Its a no brainer for me .
And a no Go zone.
SR,

Thanks for the lead on the books. They sound interesting. I will check into them.
Thanks Johnny and I have just but scratch the CORE of Buddhism and Zen and Astral realms..Thanks again Johnny and do provide some interesting ones when you stumble along the way. While you're at it check also this book BY CORDELIA FINE. "A MINDS ON ITS OWN." Very scientific mind boggling activities of the mind..separate from our reasons and logic. Why we dream, even as we park our consciousness.
