Tomorrow promises to be a good day. Might even get to turn it into another JLH thread. *rubs hands in anticipation*

Ok, so let's see where this takes us today. Anyone?

I will say this...as good as "make up" sex is, it really isn't worth risk to pretend to have an argument or something--such as jealousy--to hope that you might have a special moment afterwards. I know that I could probably accept that kind of ...........manipulative?........behavior about ..............once before I starting looking around. Of course then, the jealousy would be real. Of course, the hoped for after effect S*E*X would probably be non-existent. So, pretend jealousy for the sake of a "special moment", overall sounds pretty iffy.

It's a new day folks!

Oh, heck..... I'll bite....

I love a good open discussion where the OP gets to say whatever they want and the rest of us just agree.

I think I understand your topic...and I think that getting jealous of your partner watching TV instead of paying attention to you is a bit much...

A healthy relationship can only be achieved by having some different interests and spending time AWAY from your partner. It's very unhealthy to spend every waking moment totally engrossed in each other. Gosh...this isn't love! (by my definition) this is smothering! It's always good to spend time with your loved one and enjoy mutual interests and certainly time together... but you have to achieve some independence and interests above and beyond your partner!

LOL when I was a kid, we had this game called "broken phone", we sat on a circle, someone started the game by telling the person sitting to the right something to the ear. we passed the message like that until it got to the last person that had to say the message out loud, but by that point it was something completely different and ussually funny good times

This thread reminds me of that somehow

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.......

I say she just pounds him over the head hard with the frying pan and see if his behavior doesn't change...

Sister Fracas, the frying pan has nothing against the rolling pin!!!

There needs to be an emoticon for dictatorship threads...discuss only what I want OR ELSE!

not jsut any frying pan, but even a cast iron skillet???

Ok, so for the new day, as per the OP requires, I'm saying NO, I don't think jealousy is healthy for a relationship at all. As Bro Deanster so eloquently put, about 100 posts ago, it shows an insecurity in the relationship.

Hello, Just to have an open discussion about this topic.. The BATTLE OF JEALOUSY between the wife and the husband.. I believe this impacts a lot to our relationship with our spouses. But I also believe , this brings good also for the Marriage and not only bad..

I am opening this , so anyone who wants to oppose my belief are all welcome to be heard.. I want to hear other's beliefs as well.. luv.gif luv.gif luv.gif

Thanks all..

GOOD , because after getting jealous over something you tend to be sweeter with your spouse just to make up.. and mostly lead to something " private moment"

above is the message from the OP. I've bolded and enlarged a particular part of the message on which many of us remain fixated. The OP (bless her heart) is fixated on the part that she has put in red.

The way I see it; is that basically there has been a communication failure amongst all parties. Some have tried to give other opinions opposed to the OP's original point of view (POV) but the OP wanted only to read about opinions that were in agreement with her POV. That is why there was a succession of copying and reposting of the original message.

As Dr. Dean so aptly put it: "Jealousy is a sign of insecurity either in oneself or in one's partner"

But the good thing about this thread is that the OP was able to bring a positive message as well

hey guys, let me get back to you in a bit.. As for now, my husband just got a call from USCIS and informed him we got approved. when i checked it online it was being updated MARCH 18, 2008..
