Jealousy.
Had to deal with it for 18 years. It made me a prisoner in my on home literally. If I'm with a person then I'm with them. I Don't do the grass is greener on the other side bit. Cause it's usually brown and dieing.

Hi, Acract, and thanks for posting.
Jealousy in a relationship stems from insecurity, I believe, so if you want to make it work you both have to address it. The person who is jealous needs to look at the reasons WHY they are like that and address them, and the partner, needs to reassure them and give them confidence.
However, it cannot be an ongoing thing, and sooner or later one has to "get over it". Some people are jealous of their partner because they feel unworthy of love; that needs dispelling by their partner as best as possible.
But, saying that, I dont think anyone should put up with ongoing jealousy; it can be a big deal breaker and is a much bigger sign of underlying emotional issues that simply a little bit of Green Eye.
Bodecia: I see many threads and posts regarding the traits in men that women dislike, avoid in dating/relating and make them shy to commit again to another man.
I would like to hear from the men, as to what really ticks you off about wimmin, what common traits you have all discovered on your weary dating road, past experiences that have made you gun-shy. What do you really dislike in a woman?
Do you think guys, that wimmin from certain countries are more likely to display certain traits? Do you think that the culture they have grown up in moulds their undesirable characteristics as well as their attributes?
Or do you think they are the same the world over??
Please be truthful, do not be afraid of knives in back, or strychnine in your morning coffee, for I will protect you!
I wouldnt tie up On gender here ( okay I may have chosen the wrong word)... But to get back to my point: Its the suppression or wanting to come up as "publicly acceptably " or in simple terms being fake and acting

montecito: Beautiful BOD, your thread subject brings up bad memories I've had with women in friendships.
Perhaps I expect too much from female friendships but I see it no differently then friendship or a relationship with a man. I try not to expect anything in a friendship so I won't be disappointed but I have to admit that I do expect honesty. A woman may have a dozen friends and if I'm one of those friends, I expect her to be honest with me as well as to all her other friends.
I've had several female friendships that I thought were rock solid but they all came to pass when those women back stabbed me, denied the friendship and one didn't invite me to her wedding after being close friends for three years. Apparently, the friendship for her wasn't as close as I thought.
Until very recently, I haven't gone out of my way to start a friendship with a woman because I don't trust men or women anymore. I take friendship very seriously and if that friendship goes badly, it hurts just like the friendship with a man. So I protect myself by not giving men or women the chance to hurt me....
Hi, my friend.
I understand where you are coming from, there.
Its very difficult to trust and make friends when you have been stabbed in the back in the past; I know that feeling very well.
I guess we just have to retain the faith that there are still genuine, sincere people about in the world.

And thats very sad, because you are a beautiful person and have so much to offer friends; both romatically and platonically.

Hi Bo,another thought provoking thread.
As a woman the most annoying factor I find with other women is their choices of men!
Many women get involved with a "baddie", get burned,end up in bits or worse,then find another just as bad to take his place.What the hell is that all about.

Don't they ever learn.
Hi, BB.
Yes, I agree. Certainly, patterns are followed sometimes and most of those times people are unaware of following them at all.
My sister left home when she was 16, mainly due to horrific arguments with my father who was controlling, bad-tempered, narrow minded and selfish, Im sorry to say.
She is now married to a religious fanatic who keeps her in virtual seclusion, doesnt like her watching tv, wearing make up, dressing colorfully, doesnt allow their children to be schooled away from the home..
