Jealousy in romance is like salt in food.  A little can enhance the savour, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can even be life-threatening ~ Maya Angelou

We tend 2 think of jealousy as a bad thing, but there r instances where jealousy is right and even expected. like when a couple marries, they promise all of a certain kind of affection exclusively to each other. If one partner gives any of that  affection to another, the faithful spouse is rightfully jealous of that affection, even if it is in the slightest. If the faithful spouse did not react with jealousy, then we would question that person's love for the wayward spouse.
hmmmmmmmmmmm

My dear experienced English and Literature teacher who taught for 12 years. . .

This topic is about jealousy.We deviated when you brought up the issue of my id (harakiri).You have showed your definition.I have shown mine. And now you're asking what? If i'm jealous? For someone who professes to be a linguist, i'm totally unimpressed.
Dear,I deviated because of your name and told you the FACT about the definition of HARA-KIRI according to Merriam webster and you gave me your own OPINION about the topic.I don't care wether you are not impressed.Everybody are entitled to his/her own opinion and never say" you got it wrong" for I know I am right.That's the reason why I say,ARE YOU JEALOUS?

Not really.There are different reasons why it happens. . .

(1)If a Samurai loses a battle
(2)If a Samurai dishonors his clan
(3)If a Samurai fails to accomplish a given task
(4)If a Samurai is caught betraying his clan

And so on and so on.The point is, you are given the option of ending your life and not by the blade of someone else hence you die with some "dignity".Mind you, it's not limited to Samurai's alone.There are people who are so bent on achieving something and if they fail, they commit suicide.It originated with Samurai's though. Very unpleasant business (ripping your guts out with a sword with people watching to make sure you get it "right
Lol,No matter how far you have gone through this knowledge is not even "a pinch of a salt" compared to what I have hmmmm, mind you dear, I have been teaching English and Literature for 12 years.And now ,ARE YOU JEALOUS? angry angry angry

Wait until YOU get married and let a man approach you for some sugar at the restaurant,

Then come back and give me a full report afterward,
hahahhaha, so when you get married,you discovered that he too jealous.And how did you cope up with that?
RomanceRe: Is Jealousy A Sign Of Love? by mediatrix8(op): 10:59am On Nov 06, 2010
MrsEve:
There are different level of jealousy, there are what you call possessive jealousy and innocent jealousy, the problem with these level of jealousies that the line is so THIN that it can easily break and therefore the innocent jealousy can become possessive jealousy.

From my experience, African men are some of the MOST JEALOUS hearted men in the ENTIRE world, and it the culture of African men.  It is cute to some women and a turn off to some women. A man that loves his wife or girlfriend is jealous if a man approaches his wife or girlfriend they ready to fight, to me IS WHY WOULD YOU FIGHT SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY APPROACHES YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND? 

I, as a woman will never understand THAT KIND OF JEALOUSY because to me it a sign of insecurity and  paranoia.  Black men in America get jealous as well, BUT NOTHING TOP AFRICAN MEN JEALOUSY, whooooweee, you can feel some HEAT in their jealousy and be ready to take cover,

They say if your man doesn't show jealousy then he doesn't love you, I THINK THAT BULLCHIT, I THINK African men just want to control and dominant and when they see other men APPROACHING THEIR TROPHY they get ignant,
I agree with you 100% Mrs Eve, but why, "African men are some of the MOST JEALOUS hearted men in the ENTIRE world,"

Two of my girlfriends are already married with a Nigerian guy and actually the other one have already been to Nigeria and they got married there.They always tell me that their guys are jealous and so they can't hang out anytime they want.But my fiance gave me freedom to do anything I want provided that I tell him and he knows what is going through in my life every single day .We have been together for 3 years but I just saw him so jealous twice.

All that isn't a sure sign of love. Any playboy worth his salt knows how to pamper his would-be 'victim' with fake show of attention, care and generosity until he decides he has had enough, dumps her, and moves on to the next 'victim'.

From my experience at least, affectionate jealousy proves either or both of 2 things:
1. Love/devotion
2. Faithfulness/absence of alternatives.

Trust me, when someone freely gives you 'trust' that you've not earned, or acts all 'secure' about who you hang out with or what you do, its usually because he or she isn't so crazy about you, or because he or she has got other sweet affairs/alternatives on the side.

Note this: you can't be completely devoted and faithful to someone without expressing some apprehension when the other gets too close to the opposite gender. If not because of love, at least because of the fear/possibility of being cheated. But on the other hand it is easy not to get jealous or insecure over him or her when you know you are already doing stuff behind his or her back, or you know you have no future together. Believe me on this one.
Yes,but too much jealousy is Selfish and possessive? Isn't it too much, and you won't have space if he is too jealous?
RomanceRe: Is Jealousy A Sign Of Love? by mediatrix8(op): 9:54am On Nov 06, 2010
@ ACA77, if a person who is seldom gets jealous but shows his care and love to you by calling you often and chatting you often,giving you everything but you seldom see him being jealous even you are with your group of friends hanging out,paryting, jamming etc.What do you think of that?
RomanceRe: Is Jealousy A Sign Of Love? by mediatrix8(op): 9:49am On Nov 06, 2010

@poster

Seriously, jealousy is perhaps the only genuine and reliable sign that someone truly truly loves you and wants u all to himself or herslf. When your supposed 'partner' doesn't care what you do or who you roll with, and you mistake that for trust or 'security' then you're getting it totally wrong. Either he or she doesnt love you (enough), or he or she has alternative lover(s) elsewhere. Period.

People get these things twisted. Perhaps thats why girls that I don't love one bit and only fool around with tend to fall more easily and cheaply than the few ones that I genuinely feel love for and let it show. I certainly wouldnt marry a woman that doesnt care who the lady that just called me is, or who doesnt worry about my female friends. It means she either doesn't love me enough, or she is up to her own dirt somewhere else.
So you mean, NO JEALOUSY means NO LOVE?what about if you know his where abouts and you trust him.Will you still be jealous?

RomanceBRAIN or HEART: Capable of Loving? by mediatrix8(op): 4:50am On Nov 06, 2010
Your brain does all the work. It sends a signal to your body, and you interpret this as a feeling, and for this topic, the strong feeling is love.

The heart was just used as a symbol for love, just like any other symbol in the world, because it portrays the one of the most intricate feelings in human nature.

The heart is one of the main organs in human physiology and you cannot live without it, unless you have an electronically engineered heart, then you can,

In our love life,which should be followed in choosing our partner for eternity, Our BRAIN or Our Heart?
RomanceIs Jealousy A Sign Of Love? by mediatrix8(op): 4:35am On Nov 06, 2010
To some people,Jealousy is a sign of Love because you won't be jealous at some extent if you don't love a person.On the other hand.If you love and trusted the person,there's no way to be Jealous, hmmm a bit confusing isn't it? Would you share your thoughts about this?  smiley smiley smiley
