There are seldom any matters in dating that I would classify as a 50-50 split between men and women. Except for that of Jealousy. This is about the only thing I think is split directly down the middle. Both men and women indulge in jealousy so feverously, that it sometimes goes into the realm of crazy and illegal'.
Here are the 9 cold truths about jealousy and why it's best to avoid it.
1. A little jealously goes a long way
If your boyfriend or girlfriend is checking your calls or phone messages now, this could soon lead to stalking and crazy jealous-raged explosions later.
2. Other people can sense your fear
The more you try to keep your boyfriend or girlfriend away from people (that could steal' them from you), the more people will think they can be stolen' from you.
3. It's not sexy
If you rate yourself for example a 6/10, when you are jealous you drop down to 0/10.
4. It wears both of you down
Valuable time and effort is wasted on this useless pursuit. This can leave you and your lover exhausted in the long run with nothing to show for it.
5. Jealousy tactics are only enjoyed temporarily
You may think you are happy with the control' you possess, but this is only temporary. In the long run your boyfriend or girlfriend will build up so much resentment towards your jealousy that it will end up in heartbreak.
6. It actually invites infidelity
If you truly think they will cheat on you, then they will find a way to cheat. No matter what tactics or measures you think you have in place. If they truly want to do it, they will.
7. The more you spy on him or her the crazier you get
You may think you are winning by spying on them, but each time you distrust and spy on your boyfriend or girlfriend you are losing your sanity'. Bit by bit you wave goodbye to your rational mind without even realizing it.
8. Jealousy is your ticket to being a single loner
"When to dump the jealous partner?" This question creeps into your boyfriend or girlfriend's mind eventually. The longer your jealousy prevails, the more likely your boyfriend or girlfriend will want to dump you. (And they will)
9.You can't "Fix" your jealous boyfriend or girlfriend
Don't even try. The problems can get only get worse with these people; ditch them.
Why it's best to avoid it
It doesn't have to be hard to avoid jealously, especially when you consider some of consequences. Your life and reputation as a person can be ruined. Eventually your incessant jealous rage could cause them to call the authorities and have you either locked up or incriminated in some way.
