Just Jealous.

in Chit-Chat
Over thanksgiving weekend, I was out and about christmas tree shopping with my wife and she went over to go look at the tall ones and I was by the short ones and there was an attractive middle-aged woman there looking at trees. We struck up a conversation but even though I was attracted and it was a flirty conversation my wife seemed a little upset when got back.

The woman when she was leaving the aisle said something like "don't be jealous" and my wife shot ME a look. Then she said that the other woman was just jealous of her for having me. Then I told my wife that I thought she was jealous because I was talking to her. My wife told me that I was just jealous of the cougar's ball of yarn or whatever it is they play with and that made me jealous.

Jealous jealous jealous? Jealous. JSF, jealous.

    That is an unfortunate side-effect at times.... my ex was always jealous, even of the men that I worked with!

    Troll???

    First of all, if a woman ever finished speaking with my husband and then had the audicity to tell me don't be jealous when I showed up, she'll be eating my fist.

    Second of all, unless this caused a horrendous fight, I wouldn't worry about it. I trust my boyfriend and I don't care who he talks to, but if were to start conversating with a woman whose appearance intimidated me I might give him a look like "and what exactly do you think you're doing?" but it would be more playful than actually suspicious and he would probably tell me to shut up LOL

    Haha. My husband is never jealous. I'm friends with most of my exes and talk to them.. I've also been honest about guy friends I have and am attracted to and he doesn't care if I talk to them.. I even make jokes about "being" with other guys and he just laughs...


    I think we have that basic understanding a married couple should have... TRUST :)

    I'm totes jealous that I didn't start this thread. I'm also jealous that OP's wife was jealous of the jealous cougar that jealoused all over his peanut butter and jealous sangwich. I also I'm jealous of the jealous cougar who made OP's wife jealous about his jealousy over being jealous about the other jealous people at the Christmas tree store. OP is jealous of those who have fake trees and don't have to put up with all the jealous crap that rears its ugly jealous head when people are jealous of the tree that was sold before they got to the store.

    So you can flirt with other women, and your wife should just be ok with it?

    I get jealous when my husband gets hit on by other men because I just can't compete with that. Other women? Meh. Then it's just flattering.

    I also get jealous when Cranq flirts with other MFP members besides me. So does my husband.

    So much jealously, so much.

    My bestie calls me 'catnip' I don't get it and I certainly don't court attention...

    I guess some people are just more 'out there' than others but she shouldn't be jealous, I am assuming you are happily married and intend to stay that way, but telling her wouldn't hurt once in a while. We women are mostly insecure at the core...

    haha I wouldn't be jealous if my significant other was chatting up someone attractive--- that's just part of life sometimes--- but if the woman said to me afterwards, "don't be jealous"? Oh, no :grumble:

    It is natural to find other people attractive but openly showing attraction and flirting is very disrespectful to your spouse. I would never disrespect my husband like that. And if I did show some other man I was attracted to him and flirted with him all in my husband's face...if this man did have the temerity to then say to my husband 'don't be jealous' it is likely that my husband, an easy-going, laid-back kind of man usually, would knock his teeth down his throat.

    Basically you and this woman dogged your wife out and then she had the nerve to go rub it in your wife's face. :noway:

    Don't be jealous. He'll be thinking about you having posted in his thread for at least another week.

    I'm jealous of his good memory. I need to do more brain puzzles so I can have the OPs incredible memory.

    Will your wife be jealous if you're flirting with a man?

    Gotta keep your options open.
