Yes, I have had to deal with it many times. For different reasons. Singularly, and also as part of a couple.
I have been personally attacked through jealousy, and also my relationship was attacked for the same reason.
Tough, for someone who is intrinsically a people person, tries to think the best of everyone and attempts to be understanding to all. However, a line has to be drawn sometimes.
When I was younger, I wanted everyone to like me, so I attempted to overlook or ignore jealous sabotage; now, not so much.
My opinion of being open is getting over the past, acceting your part in it, addressing that and making a better person of yourself. Then, I believe, you cant have the relationship you want.
Because its just sooo bad, I want to cry, bang my head against a wall to stop hearing it and laugh because I cant believe anyone actually buys his stuff.
From what I have seen of Monte's posts, she is patiently attempting to converse with you sympathetically over something which should not be conversed about on this forum. Maybe to start with, but GG is/was a member also, and I personally feel it is now inappropriate to continue the thread. However, that is your choice, Ambrose.
I have always thought you overanalyse, overthink and maybe under-relate to others because you are so deep in your own attempts to "out" your own thoughts. Not a critisism; simply an observation.
I have not read the whole thread word by word, but certainly have the gist of it. When I saw GG enter the discussion, thats when I thought "enough is enough".
You are both intelligent people. Whatever the reasons for your breakup, I sympathise with both of you but disecting it in open forum, although possibly giving you a short-term outlet, will, in my opinion not be beneficial in the longterm. Again, your choice of course.
It is painful to watch and read this and to see two good people suffering.
I have never met anyone in my life who has not expressed jealousy in some sort or another.
It doesnt always come across as the dagger in the back type of jealousy, sometimes it can be more subtle, and come out as remarks, or snideness. Men express it differently to women also.
Yes, I have felt jealousy before; I have learned to get over it, partly because I am more settled, confident and trust my partner 100%. I dont trust other people sometimes though.
I have been at the end of comments on here that I believe stem from jealousy, although no-one likes to admit that.
The only person's opinion that really, really matters to me sleeps next to me every night. Anyone else, I take with a large pinch of salt.
Yes, here in the States the laws CAN vary between states. However, the basic, intrinsic rules of the land - the Federal laws remain the same. What you can do, what you cannot. The punishments may vary according to state, I agree.
That is the system you guys set up!
In England, Ireland and many other countries, one rule reigns.
