Good morning WLB and MLB. I don’t believe in envying any one. Really, I don’t. I was taught early on that’s no reason to envy another because I’d have no idea how they got to be where they are or what demons are lurking under the skin. Everything on the outside is not what it’s cracked up to be.

I’m not a jealous person by nature. However, the few flashes of jealously I’ve had were under circumstances similar to Bella’s: They took place because I had little say or no control over the situation or relationship. That sign is usually a trigger that I have to make some moves.

I have never flown into a jealous rage or anything like that. When I feel the green eye monster popping up, I try to keep my emotions in check and figure out why I’m feeling that way.

Morning all!!

SexyLeggs thanks for the advice on the name change from yesterday. I will keep that in mind, even though he was the one that asked me to do it (fine by me)!! LOL

I have only been jealous one time in my life and that was when I found out my college sweetheart was married. I always felt like I was the only one for him so the fact that he married someone else had me seething. :-) Sad but true!

Jealousy is never a good thing. Someone has to be trying awfully hard to make me jealous. My girl, on the other hand, is very jealous. I don’t like it, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Off topic @Bella/WD. MIA is a wonderful blog, and I wanted to say thank you to the two of you. Where else can a group of strangers forge their intellectual stance on life, along w/common sense and give the true, gritty aspects of dating.

How many of you take this blog home? By that I mean once home does this blog, or person’s philosophical diatribe creep in your mind while home. I think it was SlimOne who wondered why she doesn’t remember the goings on of us bloggers. I may be wrong. Anyway, I think this blog is cathartic for most, enlightening for others and pure entertainment for all of us. Where else can you get a verbal beatdown and recover quickly? Thank you to the MLB for keeping it real at all times. Congrats to the WLB for espousing sound advice from our point of few to the MLB. Sorry, just had to get this out!

I’ve never been jealous. But I have been victim of jealousy and did not know it. It’s bad when people who do not know you get a preconceived notion about you because of the way you look and where you are from. I spent summers in SC with my family and the girls there were always mean to me..so that is why I always hung with boys. Then I just got to the point of being a loner. I still am somewhat. That green eyed monster hot me hard when I moved to ATL 3 years ago. My first day on the job ladies older and younger were giving me the stank face. Now SExyleggs you know being from NY we do not speak to people we do not know. But I knew that is not the case here. So I spoke pleasantly to everyone I passed, only to get the stank face and be talked about behind my back. The guys were very friendly and was very interested to talk to me and find out about me. The ladies never took the time…they just hated me for no reason. It’s really bad when your supervisor hates on you for no reason. I mean this chick could be my mom and she was guzzling Hater-aid! This 2-faced trick would smile up in my face about reading about my former pageant title of the previous year in a newspaper one day and then the next she was all up in cubicle trying to say I violated dress code. Now mind you the fat chick and her bony friend could wear a shirt with cleavage to her navel and no one said a thing. But let me wear something that fit nicely but did not reveal cleavage and all of a sudden there was a problem. She was definetely out to get me..she lied on me and tried to find anything she could to harass me about. It wasn’t my work….actually I learned my job and her better than her in less than 2 months. My mom said she probably thought I wanted her job. I was like Trick please…this may be your life but its only a stepping stone to pay my bills while I work on what I really want. So what I want to know is why do women judge others without even knowing them. Is that jealousy? I personally will give a girl her props if she looks nice is is rocking something I like. Why must we as women tear each other down instead of giving kudos where its due? Oh well…I guess if I had no haters…as my granny says…I ain’t hitting on shyt! LOL So hate away! LOL

Good morning Everyone!

The unhealthy side of jealousy is feeling threatened by someone or something that you believe will take your partner’s affection away from you. Irrational bouts, as in temper tantrums? Growth and maturity should override such behavior. If you deem it necessary to act irrationally because of someone else’s behavior, examinewhy you are reacting this way, separate from what the other person has done. Irrational behavior could lead to criminal behavior if one does not deal with the underlying issues. Insecurity? Low self-esteem? Trust issues? Learn to love you. Recognize your value. Never compare yourself to someone else. Who is better at being you?

I do believe that there is a healthy level of jealousy. This is when a visible threat to the relationship occurs such as a woman who blatantly tries to hit on your man. You do not insecurely believe that she can “take your man.” No woman is capable of doing that. He makes the choice to be with her or not. However, you cannot sit idle and allow her to disrespect either you or your relationship. The key is how you handle the situation. You can choose to ignore her or politely put her in her place.

Staceye, no it doesn’t stop. I too have an extensive wardrobe and boo coo (sp?) shoes. It’s all good. Let those hate who want to hate. There’s nothing you can do about it. Preconceived ideals about another person is sometimes hard to squelch. So, keep doing you and eventually they will see the true you. Believe you me, there are a lot of women here at my job who don’t like my small frame, my nice legs, how I wear heels all the time, and my personality. I don’t have time for all of that hating so I smile, tell them to have a nice day and strut the f…. away.

Jewel, You can choose to ignore her or politely put her in her place. I’ve learned over the years tact. Lord knows I wasn’t born with (don’t know many NYers who were). It’s very difficult to give a polite verbal beatdown, but it can be done.

Good Morning to all, with the market in the tank…might as well chime in.

I’ve never been a jealous person. But it seems I’ve always generated some type of hateration from females. Started out very young growing up in the backwoods of the country dirt very stinking poor. I’m like none of us had anything back then. Later on it was said I always held my head higher than others and I always acted like I was better than where I was at. It took a few sessions to get my head wrapped around that for sure. I was told to always be proud and hold my head high. I’ve always had more males friends than females friends that is for sure.

Overall the older you get the worst it seems to be. Or maybe that is just me.

Good morning ladies,

Lurking here on what is (no offense) a female centric topic.

I’ve noticed in conversations with female friends that envy, hating, jealousy is a dynamic of female relationships. For the most part, if/when guys “hate” it’s about what you are percieved to have, but our resolution is based mostly in physicality. That is to say that if the “hater” dislikes the “hatee” that much, he’ll mostly likely try to resolve it in typical Alpha Male fashion, with a physical display of dominance (shout out to animal planet).

And while I won’t attribute it all to society, the fact that you ladies display this same dominance structure, yet have no physical resolution process (except in extreme cases).

Overall, though ladies I would use the advice of the homies of the Field Mob: “I must need more doing well and need more cheese, becuase the haters I got are starting to bore me”

When you think of it like that, those that would hate could become daily entertainment.

Good Morning, all

co-sign 2C. Although, I did go to the public school. I was in gifted classes like that show “Head of the Class”, and I took AP classes in high school. The rest of the football team used to crack a few jokes about the SAT score. The team actually nicknamed me “Brain”. But it was always a little joke to them. Especially since a couple of them, couldn’t get the (then required 700) SAT score.

Jewel ^5 on your post. Jealousy from someone whom you consider a friend is the worst kind. I’ve grown accustomed to that behavior from outsiders, but when it’s within your own camp, that hurts. I’ve really been blessed to have some great “true friends” who never try to compete but instead applaud and support me. But there’s one that has always tried to “outshine” everybody else. The funny thing is, we all push her to be the best her she can be, but you never get that back.

I too have endured my share of jealous females but my mom taught me early on that everybody isn’t going to like me. This was more prevelant back home (small town in Mississippi)where ignorance runs rampant…they didn’t have anything and were mad if you tried to have something. I never understood that. So I befriend those that befriend me and keep it movin with all the others.

I don’t practive a spirit of jealousy, but there have been times where I felt envious of someone. But it was a healthy envy (if that’s possible). In my early 20’s there was this woman at my church that I envied. In my eyes, she embodied all the attributes of a true LADY and I envied that in her. But I didn’t make that envy bad by hating, I turned my envy into drive. I started assessing me and things in my life that I wanted to change so that someone would see the LADY in me and want to do the same.

Dan Perhaps. But, the topic is really about jealousy within male/female relationships, as in a committed relationship and marriage. Men do exhibit jealousy in this sense. Many have killed their wife/girlfriend as a result. The pathological behavior from the inability to control their jealousy. If I can’t have her, nobody will. So, jealousy is also a male centric topic.

By Bre

October 18, 2007 12:28 PM | Link to this

2 My best male friend one day broke that down to me. He was like that killed him everyday having to get on that bus and then coming home in the evening. He had to fight so much just to prove he was down and not crossing the line. And for what, just because he was “gifted” and went to a magnet/charter school. Men hate on each other in different ways. Then shake hands and go play ball together. If its a hand in jealousy its usually about either money or a chick. Dudes saying I bet I can pull his girl. That’s another one I don’t get. Like the hate really worth trying to get some chick because some dude you don’t like got her. Seriously.

SexyLegs You know at first I used to be mad about it. And it has really messed me up with female association. I don’t have a good record with it I have to admit. Its been hard for me to judge where they are coming from. Those that know me either hate me or love me for life. Now I take that energy and so thankful for it. I turn it positive, I give out more love and more compliments. Because the negative only gets you down. I know where I came from and where I’m going only hard work and holding my head up high keeps me where I’m at, and that’s with my head in the game.

@Jewel

I was talking about the discussion as it had unfolded to the point that I submitted.

But again the same model holds true, for men. You take/want my girl, you take her from me. Which back in the day meant a fight, today cats too pretty to scuffed up.

But I’ve seen the aforementioned (sorry work mode) model for women in male/female relationships. The friend wants her homegirls man, she’ll get him. Never discuss the act with her homegirl and stay happy in the fact that while not a direct assualt, the indirect assault happened and she has essentially won.

Men butt heads, women fight for perception.

Deeva4Life You hit the nail on the head in your last paragraph. That is an example of positive jealousy. You harnessed the emotion and used it to become a better you. Everyone should have at least one person they admire; someone who exhibits traits they wish to adopt. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you are smarter (Insert thinner, cuter, richer, etc.) than your circle of friends, you need a new set of friends. It gets ugly when the person obsesses over the other. They really need to deal with their own insecurities at that point.

What Do I Look Like?

A newlywed couple just moved into their new house. One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, “Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?” The husband just looked at his wife and said, “What do I look like, Mr.Plumber?”

A few days went by, and he comes home from work and again his wife asks for a favor, “Honey, the car won’t start, I think that it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?” “What do I look like, Mr.Goodwrench?” was his response.

Another couple of weeks go by, and it’s raining pretty hard. His wife then finds a leak in the roof. She pleads with him as he’s walking through the door. “Honey, there’s a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?” He just looked at her and said “What do I look like, Bob Vila?” and sat down with a beer and watched a game on TV.

One weekend the husband woke up and it was pouring pretty hard, but the leak on the roof was gone! Speaking of leaks, he also went to take a shower, and he found that the one pipe behind the sink wasn’t leaking anymore either.

His wife was coming home just then, and as she walked through the door, the husband asked, “Honey, how come there aren’t any more leaks, and the car’s running?”

She replied nonchalantly, “Oh, the other day I was picking up the mail, and I ran into one of our new neighbors, Jon. What a nice man. He came over and fixed everything.” “Wow, did he charge us anything?” asked the husband. “No, he just said that he’d do it for free if I either baked him a cake or had sex with him” she said.

“Cool. What kind of cake did you make?” asked the husband. “Cake? What the hell do you think I look like, Betty Crocker?

2CPTG I got the hate in school because I was the smart girl. I was naturally quiet, so they perceived that as me being too good to talk to them. Actually, I was too BUSY to talk to them. Those were just associates, but I always had good supportive friends. I’ve only experienced jealousy from a woman once since I’ve been an adult, but she was crazy. I rarely tell folks I don’t know anything about me personally, so what they don’t know about, they can’t hate on.

In relationships, I’ve had a few dudes become jealous of my best friend, who is a guy. I always felt that since that relationship was open and transparent to them, they had nothing to be jealous about. Then there was that island dude, that was irrational jealousy at its finest. He had something to say when a man I didn’t even know looked my way, therefore, he had to go. It smelled like a domestic violence situation waiting to happen.

I’ve never been the jealous type. However, my wife left her cell phone at home yesterday. She asked that I bring it to my office, so she could retrieve it when we met for lunch. It rang, but I didn’t answer it. Then I thought it might be her calling from a number I didn’t recognize. I called the number back and a dude answers and says Hey, wuzzup beautiful shocked…..I hung up.

Hello ladies of the WLB Dap to the mighty MLB

Off topic- My score was 143. Dayum that brought back some memories of the buckwild,reckless, young goon days. Ahh memories.

On Topic- I’ve never been the one to be jealous or envious. I always hung around older cats that taught me its important to have a healthy respect for someone doing better than me (motivation). In relationships I don’t get jealous if someones takes a liking to my SO. It’s actually a badge of honor (who wants someone that no one else wants). I actually like being hated on its keeps me going. In HS and College I was also the smart one. Never really had to study to get good grades. I used this free time to participate in the extracurricular activities of the moment-hustling. Like someone else said being bad does pay better. Ahh memories!!!

I work with a married guy who’s very hot. I swear, if I hear one more word about everything his wife can do and how well she does it, I’m going to start singing “Everything You Can Do, I Can Do Better!” when he walks past my cube. I had a crush on him, but now he’s just another tiresome guy/gal who can only talk about the spouse/kids. Funny how jealousy can be resolved in very unexpected ways!

Car Crash

A man and his girlfriend are driving down the highway. The man asks ‘If I drive 100 mph, will you take off your clothes?’ and she agrees. So the man drives 100 mph and his girlfriend strips. The man is so busy looking at his girlfriend that he crashes into a tree. The car flips over, trapping the man and all of his girlfriend’s clothes. All that is free of the car is the man’s girlfriend and one of his shoes. The man yells, ‘You have to go get help. Go to that gas station over there.’ His girlfriend says, ‘Are you kidding me? I’m naked.’ ‘Well,’ replies the man ‘Take my shoe over there, cover up yourself, and go get help.’ So the woman covers herself with the shoe and goes to the gas station. She says to an attendant ‘You have to help me. My boyfriend’s trapped’ ‘I’m sorry ma’am’ the attendant replies, ‘he’s too far in.’

I waited until we went to lunch and casually said, as I handed her the phone, “oh yeah beautiful, your boyfriend called”. She was like ”I don’t I have no dayum boyfriend!” She checked the number and explained that dude was from the auto auction. She recently graduated from nursing school and wanted a new Benz truck. I suggested instead of paying 7 to 8 hundred a month, lets see if we could cop one from the dealer auction pre-owned. If we could get it for around 20 to 25 stacks, we could pay cash and be thru with it. She went on to say; she thought the dude was a punk because of the tight muscle shirts, with no muscles that he wears (her words, obviously not mine.) Although she didn’t have to, she let me listen to the voicemail he left, talking about a potential vehicle she may be interested in. Their interaction was legit. Think how foolish, jealous and insecure I would’ve appeared if I had cursed the man out for calling my lady or went off on her with out knowing the facts. (I should’ve know better than that shyt anyway, how she gonna upgrade me, what’s higher than number one) Oh…but I will be at the next auction. When I meet him, Imma say ”wuzzup beautiful”, while trying to crush his maffuggin hand during the shake.

Dad Eats Light Bulbs

Little Johnny has to write a story about someone in his family that does something amazing. The next day, he returns and tells the class that his father eats light bulbs.

“How do you know that?” asks his teacher.

“I heard him say it. He and Mom were in the bedroom and he said ‘I’ll only eat that thing if you turn out the light.’”

Hey folks… long time no blog… haven’t even had time to really lurk either but all I can thing of after reading the intro and some of the entries today is Erykah Badu’s song on the end of Mama’s Gun entitled “Green Eyes”…

my eyes are green… because I eat a lot of vegetables… it has nothing to do with your new friend…

Which is something I will repeat to myself on the few occasions that I’ve gotten jealous… esp when you weren’t the one doing the dumping it’s sometimes hard to see that someone with someone else. It’s just good old-fashioned ego at work with memories of the good times.

And I scored a 109 on the test.

Rell Thanks for posting that. I can’t wait to read their book, Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors. One of the lines he uses in the losing boxer story, “It’s not what he’s doing to you, it’s what you’re NOT doing”. I saw that for the first time in Juan Williams’s book “Enough”. I hope that their message is repeated enough that it changes the direction of our lives and our communities. It’s got to get in our consciousness somehow. It’s so great that we, as a people, are starting to pay attention to what’s going on with our children and are starting to ask “What can we do about it?”
