Yikes!

I get such an aggressive feeling when I see other guys flirting with the girl I love. It's foolish of me, as I trust her, but the caveman in my belly tells me to club the potential rivals into a pile of undercongealed paste. A purely selfish drive, and it's not an attractive one...

I've already cooled my jets, and hopefully I won't brood on this.

I unfortunately know the feeling. I trust my s.o. completely, but I still feel a little jealosy well up inside of me when he spends time with his female coworkers and friends.

I can't talk, though, because most of my friends are men. :)

jealousy, I mean.

what a funny looking word.

I had a similar problem with algae earler this weekend. :)

Sometimes the English language makes absolutely no sense to me. :)

It's pesky...

All the poop from trade languages around the world... that's what we get for being a 'global' tongue...

How does that work? I don't even flirt with my female friends, really. It's funny, but I view LJ pals as my little sisters. Happy to give you hugs, but it's a non-romantic thing.

How does what work?

I don't flirt either, neither does he.

Sorry, I was unclear...

It's odd, but I seem to collect female friends, and she gathers male friends, too...strange how that happens.

[nomi.livejournal.com]

Though sometimes my male friends/aquaintances will get flirty, but I tactfully tell them or let on that I'm not going to play.

I know Max has been asked out to drinks before by women, but that doesn't bother me very much.

I think the "jealousy" I feel is more because these women get to spend more time with him than I do lately. ;)

"acquaintances" I mean. What's wrong with me today!? :)

We need to get brad to toss spell -check in the replies!!

[nomi.livejournal.com]

That would definitely help space cadets like me. :P

Me too.. I'm king typo.

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That's good... flirting can make the other person feel a hurt, even if it's "harmless".

I get envious of men that have the opportunity to hang out with my girl... perhaps envy is a better word than jealous, as I trust her.

[nomi.livejournal.com]

True, envy is a more accurate description.

in no way is it foolish of you...its human nature...just some out there won't admit it...all it does is proves how much you love this woman...have comfort in that

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Oh, how much I love her is practically a given.

She's totally amazing.

jealousy is a natural thing, even more at the begining of a relationship.. you just have to learn to control it and have a lot of communication so they don't create any problems between the 2 of you

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm being totally honest... and recognisng that it's an irrational thought. You're right though... communication is certainly the key to a good relationship.

[ex-ly656.livejournal.com]

just make sure to let her know that the irrational feelings are against THEM, not her (i know it sounds obvious, but i've been there, and if you don't say it, we may feel like you are angry towards us)

Already have! :) Thanks for backing up the concept, though.

Caveman comes and goes
But Scottobear will prevail;
Thinks with big head.
Much smarter than that.

Crosseyed and painless
I try to think with my brain
sometimes, it's my spleen

Re: Haiku brings out the worst in me; it really does

[ldy.livejournal.com]

Spleen thinking? Oh, no!
Gut will serve you better, but
Brain thinking is best

Often get gut feelings
Trepedation from the thoughts
use your brain, and win.
