So, I’m jealous of all the people who have a squeeze to take to Bard on the Beach. And I’m jealous of those who can follow a Shakespearean play without referring to Coles Notes throughout. Winning these tickets will give me a reason to ask some cutie to spend an evening of entertainment in the park. And hopefully someone who can let me know what the hell is happening on stage.

I’m not really the jealous type at all. I think the last time I really felt jealous was in high school. My ex-girlfriend, who I held a torch for for a long time after we broke up, began spending time with another friend of mine. As far as I know now in retrospect, it was purely a friendship thing between them. But, I was sure at the time there was something going on. Jealousy is a very lonely feeling, because ultimately no one can help you with it. When I have felt it, it’s always felt like a kind of concentrated loneliness, with a dash of envy thrown in - a nasty cocktail. The loneliness thing is pretty ironic since the reason for it is stems from the fear that you’ll end up alone. Ultimately, it’s pretty absurd. But, when you feel it, it’s all-encompassing. I find the key to short circuiting jealousy has something to do with seeing how absurd it is from the get-go, and just laughing at it if you can.

I thought I knew what jealousy was, and then I met my cat. What I thought was jealousy was minor insecurities and some squabbles. Real (feline) jealousy involves blood and the murder of songbirds. Much more Bardish than any of my relationships

One of my exes was a very jealous person: needed passwords to all my accounts, stayed up till I was home, would insist on driving to and picking me up to meet friends, check my phone records...and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Yep, good riddance. Joy’s last blog post..Julia & Nora Cream Puffs

The problem with betrayal (which I found out the hard way) is when you find out about it after it’s been on going for a substantial amount of time.

My sweetie is a singer and he sings a lot of Johnny Cash and Elvis stuff. In particular he sings One Night With You by Elvis. At a gig once, some woman walked up to us and asked him “Will you please sing One Night With You to me. I love that song and every time you sing it I imagine you’re singing it only to me.” She then turned to me and said “You don’t mind, do you?” My green eyes got just a bit greener as I smiled and said, “Nope, not at all. Who am I to stand in the way of your delusions.” My sweetie nearly choked on his drink and thankfully the woman realized that I just kidding … or was I?!?

It’s actually quite funny that the only relationship I’ve had where there was jealousy was with one of my dearest friends. She would always get a little jealous whenever I spent time with any new female friends and never wanted to come out with us.
If I ever introduced her to the men I was dating, she would always get her back up and be incredibly cold to them. It was quite frustrating, to say the least as I could never figure out what it was. She just wanted all my attention all the time.
We are no longer friends.

my ex and i had broken up when i went to europe. i was kind of seeing someone when i was over there, but ended things before i got back home. when i got home, my ex and i decided to give it another go, basically on the condition that i wouldn’t speak to this other guy….who lived on the other side of the world.

I once went out on two dates with a girl who didn’t want me to see my (straight) best friend afterwards. (Yeah, no.)

I grew up with a friend at Elementary school and split up a bit during high school. He is now best friends with my brother. Andrew Littler’s last blog post..Exclusive Clip: Handcrafting the World of ‘Coraline’ - Film...

My ex could be quite jealous sometimes, which is rather rich given that he turned out to be the untrustworthy one. He (my ex) was quite jealous of one of my classmates in my undergrad because we (my ex and I) ran into him (the classmate) in the cafeteria and I chatted with him and forgot to introduce my ex to him. My ex went on and on and on (for years!) about this guy - he referred to him as "Chip" because he thought he looked like a vapid pretty boy. Granted, he was *very*pretty and he was flirting with me in front of my then-husband *and* I may have had a wee bit of (completely innocent) crush on him!

One instance comes to mind vivdly. And I thought only lesbians threw ashtrays across the room at each other. Not true, as I found out.

a “bad experience in the past” tries to sleep with everybody i’ve ever had a relationship with… and succeeds and fails in some cases. i think that accounts for betrayal, spitefulness, vindicativity, and jealousness (on his part). :]
