Jealous Lover
We all know that since it’s close to St. Patrick’s Day, everybody is seeing green. However, there are some people seeing green that it is not in their emerald green beers, but rather they are seeing green because they can not tame the green-eyed monster from rearing its ugly face in their dating lives.
Sure, jealousy is a natural emotion we all face from time to time. However, it’s how you choose to react to those insecure and envious feelings that can undermine and destroy a once stable relationship.
For those that need a reality check or for those looking for types of people to avoid, here is our online relationship guide to spotting the four types of jealous behavior green-eyed monster exhibit:
The Territorial Urinating Lover
Have you ever said hello to someone at a party and before you know it, their partner is on the scene practically lifting their legs and marking their territory and claim on their significant others like they were dogs? For people like this, I suggest that they take a deep breath and relax already! It’s perfectly acceptable for people to make small talk at parties and other social functions. It doesn’t mean your boyfriend/girlfriend is going to fall for the partygoer who shares the same love for pigs in a blanket as they do, so chill out! Feel free to mingle with other guests and give your significant lover some peace because after all, remember you are both individuals.
The Friend Blocking Significant Other
We all have friends who are joined at the hip to the significant others. These are the kind of people that are gigantic pushovers when their significant calls or texts every 10 minutes or so when they’re out with their friends. To end this quickly, always turn off your phone for at least 30 minutes to make a statement. When asked why your phone was off, you might have to address to your partner that they may have chronic separation anxiety and if that’s the case, it may be best to address this in a professional setting.
The Jealous Drama Queen or King
When you act out your envy in public, you’re humiliating yourself and you are especially humiliating your significant other. (Especially if you’re drunk!) So if you are one those types that have to let everyone know your private business and you feel the urge to shout, swear and throw your drink, then count to ten, take a deep a breath and sober up. Leave the kind of drama to the reality stars that the rest of the world mocks.
The Envious Downer
This occurs when somebody has too much pride or too big of an ego to admit that they are jealous. Instead, they rather ruin everybody’s good time with their negative feelings and energy. You never want to be that person and no one wants to be around THAT person. If you feel like you wear all of your emotions on your face and in the tone of your voice, politely excuse yourself and sleep on it. The next day, just apologize and admit why you were “down.”
