does it really make you feel that you are protected?

the story takes us back to the time when my father was working in KSA (saudi arabia). my mother wasn't able to pick up the phone whenever father calls her up because she was busy. but father was hysterical, thinking that my mother was going out with some guy and came to a point where our family was almost broken up. my mother was crying but she always says "it's alright", obviously it's not. when he came, you know what I did?

I made a roundhouse kick land on his face...

that when I swore to myself that I won't be jealous to my girlfriend, in case I'd have one... but did I do the right thing? not to be jealous on anyone?

I like my guy to be jealous sometimes, it somehow makes me feel wanted and owned. But too much jealousy is intolerable. I guess I'll show you're mother's reaction ^_^' I'll get mad and cry :D

If you don't show any reactions, you're girlfriend might think that you don't care or you're not taking her seriously. Show some jealousy but not all the time and for simple things. I think you're dad just missed your mom! Heheh...At least you know how much he loves your mom :)

What you have always remember is that jealousy is a natural feeling that no one can suppress. You just have to know how to control it. If you tell yourself that you're not jealous, there will be chances that your partner will cheats on you for real. I've seen cases, where either the girl or the boy thought nothing's wrong and it was unreasonable to be suspicious. And in the end it turned out that he/she had to be sensitive.

Your dad overdid it =_=""" It's okay to be a little jealous but don't overreact =_="

jealousy is part of our lives...

u cant deny it... so, expressing some sentimental feelings towards someone u love never is going to be bad... it is bad if it turns to be obsessive, that's when u need to worry,,, otherwise it doesnt matter if you're a little bit jealous of someone or something, that shows how much u care n worry for a person :)


is sad that that happened to ur family, it really is. but dont worry in measurement everything is right... if it has tendency to one side or another that's when u must worry, otherwise forget it. is normal.

good day.

It is ok for a guy to be jealous. Everyone feels jealousy at some point in a relationship. The thing that bothers me about it is that if a guy is jealous he is just being protective but if a girl is jealous then she is a controling bitch. It shouldn't be like that. We feel the same kind of jealousy and just want to protect the relationship we charish the most. No be it that there are extremes out there so I am not refering to them.

hehehe well said! i agree wholeheartedly! i think it's sad when the guy doesn't get jealous at all.
like my father is the extreme jealous type that starts getting unflattering, my uncle is soooo the opposite, he lets his wife do whatever she wants whenever she wants wearing whatever she likes. i donno, i think that would completely suck! and his wife agrees with me. she always complains how her hubby doesn't care and she wished he would at least pretend he's jealous at times. i can sympathize with her situation. i think most girls like being made to feel like their bf is possessive at times, it's adorable when he glares at other guys who are staring at his woman XD XD XD ....and of course i'll growl at a woman who would stare at my angel! he's mine! XD they don't call me Lioness for nothing afterall XD XD ^//////^ XD XD XD

besides i see in most cases where one parter wouldn't get jealous over their lover, then the lover tries to make the partner jealous....sometimes to the extreme where they go around chatting with the opposite sex and being all attractive and charming... XD XD XD at least i've seen from experience that it tends to work most times XD

Well, God forbid that guys should actually TRUST their girlfriends or anything. That would be just wrong, I guess, when you want your jealousy, because that's the only way of showing your girlfriend that you care, yep yep. Always think the worst of your significant others, because if we're not angry about something, then that means there's something wrong.

Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with being jealous -- some people tend to get jealous easily, it just goes with the territory -- but to instigate jealousy in otherwise agreeable -- even gentle -- people because you want to feel owned or loved.... that's smacks of possessiveness, which strikes me as rather unhealthy. Especially when you actually go to great lengths to make someone jealous. And believe me, guys and girls, if your significant other has half a brain, they will most likely only roll their eyes at the scene you're making.

To the thread starter: You went all Chuck Norris on your father? Seriously? And you're not charged with battery and assault because.....?

As for any feelings of jealousy, you're on your own there. Like with any other situations that angers you, you just have to deal with it as you see fit. There is no "one right answer" in that situation, because it solely depends on who's in the receiving end of your reactions. Some people, as this thread has shown, appreciates jealous people. Others might not put up with it for very long. When it comes to that point, whether you're jealous or not, just... you know, talk to her about it. It's the oldest, and, in my opinion, the best "trick" in the book.

as you probably didn't do exactly the right thing, bringing it to your father's attention...but your father could be stubborn so maybe that could be a good way to get his attention, but at any rate my family is currently recovering from a left field incident where my father was about to leave us because he found someone new and we never saw it coming and now we are constantly concerned will it happen again and will he be ready to face the consequences...the family life hasn't really been the same since, but there is always hope

at any rate help your mother/father talk to one another and sort things out, heck if at any time have a "family" meeting and discuss issues such as these and see how they react

in truth you should not hold jealousy to someone now/in the future, to the point you should suspect something always, but be truthful, it doesn't hurt to ask this person, any person...trust is a good part of a relationship, any relationship, but don't always be so trustful (as you learned from my ramblings above) that even if it doesn't happen it can still come out and bite you on the butt when you least expect it to

oh... I see... about the last part, I think I relate... about the "making one partner jealous" part.. I'd the "glaring" thing would be my style... ^^

please... don't compare me to Chuck Norris... -_-

and It's okay, I live in a place called "Pasig". A place in the Philippines where rules doesn't exist, Gang wars do happen every other night, thugs are all over the place, your things get stolen, or someone gets killed, etc. and it's still legal... well, a place where anything goes...

you know, a place that only exist in anime do exist in the Philippines, that's why we need to protect ourselves...^^

it's the last place you'd call "safe".

I think it's ok for guys to get a LITTLE jealous, see how I emphasized "little". It makes girls feel a little more secure and happy when their guys feel and act just a little bit possessive. If the guys were completely non-chalant, then the girl might get the idea that he's bored or just not really into her.

Yeah, I shouldn't have done that. That was inappropriate of me.

I mean... Chuck Norris wouldn't kick his father in the face. Sorry, Chuck.

Oh hey, well THAT makes everything ok. I mean... if people there are killed on a daily basis, who's gonna hold a kick to the head up to their moral standards?

So, where does it start sounding wrong? A bullet to the knee? An iron bar over the fingers? A knee to the groin?

....not that I necessarily want to give you any ideas or anything. ^^;;

wahihi! I'm just exaggerating things, but of course, there's the police... but sometimes even the police themselves are the "kings" of the place so you it's hard to trust anyone... even your father... >_<

am I going too far from the topic?

so... maybe I'm bound to have a lonely life? you see, maybe it's kinda hard for you to understand but for me it's kinda hard to be jealous...

...but just as scorpio-san said, it's a natural thing and maybe it's just not the right time now...

It's okay to be jealous..sometimes. I mean, it's natural. If someone special was taken away from you- whatever- you just got to show it...the emotion.
((like what ealpha-scorpio said))
Like in my situation, too much jealousy is bad..VERY BAD! T_T...
It's not bad that you're trying not to be jealous. What I'm saying is, in that case, there's no right or wrong. It's just something optional yet compulsory because it's natural.

About your dad, you kinda did the right thing at the wrong time. You could at least talk to him and explain the schedule your mom has. If he doesn't listen, give him two more chances. After wasting those chances, kick him now! =p!

I don't find it a problem for guys to be jealous...
But of course that doesn't mean it is good. Too much jealousy is bad...
As a girl, I think if a guy jealous of a girl being too close with other guys, shows how much the guy likes her. :) So being jealous is not that very bad.
Self-control is what needed the most when there is too much jealousy. :D

guys are human as well, therefore obviously they would feel jeolousy.

if im not wrong all guys feel it except it dpends on whether do they express it openly
its good to know that they r jeolous but when it gets too exteme u will find it annoying

Quote by Joancagalliguys are human as well....


That is one of the best and funniest things I have ever read on these boards. I am so quoting that. In fact, I think I'll make it my custom title.

lolx!~ well i guess it's alrite for guys to get jealous!~ gals do too!~ so wad difference does it make? XD everyone is human and they do have feelings!~ =) it kinds of show that the guy loves you as well!~ and it's kinda cute hahax..!~ XD yup!~

Is it okay for girls to be jealous!? ^_^' (of course! We are only human.)
Some how when a guy is jealous it makes a girl feel like shes worthy and that he cares about her...I know it may seem like a selfish emotion, but we can't help but feel this way sometime, I'm not saying jelousy is a good thing either to much can sometimes become frightning and to us seem controlling. All you have to do guys is do simple little things for us so that we know you care about us. :)
Jealousy is just part of life. Come on let's face it. Maybe we all get jealous because mentally we are worried that somone will come along and take our loved ones away from us...? Or somehow they'll be more interesting than us, so we become self conious?

I can agree that too much jealousy is very very bad. I have at times(including recently) allowed jealousy or jealous rages to control me and damage relationships. Jealousy can lead all sorts of nasty things like wanting to control someone or being obsessive. What's even worse you might not even realize you are doing it to someone or on the receiving end of it till the damage has been done and nothing can be done to fix it. I think some folks are better at controlling it then others.

well..in my opinion, i dont mind a little jelously..not too the point where i cant hug my guy-friends, i mean there friends, dosent mena i like them in any otherway but i dont mind it if your both just joking aorund and its in the kinda cute way heh-heh i donno how too explain it really but...yeah lol ^/^ uhm, but i also think that if it dosent faze the guy at all..it can make it seem like they dont care, even if we know they do. hm, but i think also sometimes situations call for jelousy (Like my bf was jelous that this freakin prev-who i hate- keeps running his fingers down my sides and neck and back and wont stop and how he keeps punching me and sstabbing me with pencils and shit, yeah..my bf gets kinda mad at that *sweat* grr....stupid prev in my class wont leave me alone,and he keeps saying he wants too bang me it kinda freakin me out o.O) but, over reacting isnt good, but its ok sometimes ^^; ya kno what i mean? ^-^ XD

i thought jealous is okay, bcoz it's like we've so much love so that we dont want someone to be with another person. but then i read a magazine, said that jealous is an egoistic thing. it's like u want someone to be juzt yours. ex: if ur gf/bf talk to another person, u start 2 think negatively. but, about what happened 2 ur mom n dad is a different think. well, trusting is the best way ^^

I wouldn't mind if a guy got a little jealous. I'd him want to be jealous actually. Not on purpose but you know to show me he cares. If he acted so nonchalant all the time I'd think he didn't care. I'd probably end up trying to make him jealous just to get a reaction that's IF he didn't show any reaction. But that's me.

Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with just feeling jealous - I'm sure it's something that happens to everyone once in a while. But personally I hate how guys (or girls, for that matter), often act on their jealous feelings in really immature, irritating ways. My partner is someone who doesn't really get jealous so easily, and if he was then I probably wouldn't be with him simply because that kind of thing annoys me so much. And I certainly hope I wouldn't need any person I was with to feel jealous just to show he cared or just to make me feel wanted/loved - there are far better ways for people to show those feelings.
