Well, would you?

[KillerMuffin]

You really hit it off with someone at a party. Your lover seems jealous. Do you cut your conversation short? Why or why not?

 

[StondTmplPilot]

I would

because if i am there with my lover, i surely do not want to upset her. i would politely bow out of the conversation and pay more attention to the lady i am sposed to be there with

yes, for fear of something else being 'cut short'

 

[LemonDroppe]

I would cut the conversation short. Then later I would chew out my lover for being jealous. THEN I would have passionate sex with my lover as a reminder of where my loyalties lie.

No.

His jealousy issues are his problem, and it's not my job to feed his insecurity. If I stopped talking to every person he acted jealous of, I'd no longer communicate with my family, or most of my friends.

It's about trust. Either he trusts me, or he doesn't, and not talking to that person isn't going to make the difference. besides, he's welcome to join the conversation.

I'd look over to see my husband smiling..because he likes to watch other people enjoying me.

He'd see no threat...because sometimes people just strike the right cord...it certainly doesn't mean you are out to replace one human with another.

Honestly, how could just one human on this planet be the only person you are allowed to have a close, special bond with..you know?


Why are so many people threatened by their mate attracting others..?

Why are people so possessive with what their loved one does that makes them happy in anyway..during their course of life?

I am assuming this is the opposite sex, and this person is attractive?

Yes, I would politely end the conversation and then I would find someplace private, or if possible go home with my lover and talk the issues over. I wouldn't ever intentionally flirt with someone else if I had a committed relationship with a woman - unless we were both seeking that other woman as a partner (but that is a different issue).

The main thing is that I would want to find out what is missing in our relationship that makes my lover that insecure to be jealous that way. Of course, it could be just the person - I am that way a little; especially if they are flirting, then I would be jealous.

But I recognize that my lover is going to have friends (I hope) and that she would have interests that may not coincide with mine. As such she may have friends of both sexes and want to spend time with them, with or without me. Lovers need some time to themselves with other people besides their lovers.

There is a balance though; most general activities like parties I would want to share with her.

 

[Starfish]

Yes, I would.

Reason: Respect

As a matter of nature(?) Latinas/Latinos such as myself and my wife, we are assumed to be automatically jealous of these situations.

I have barely a jealous bone in my body, especially concerning my wife. Maybe it's because I've spent more of my life in the U.S. than back home where she lived her whole life, with exception of this year. She is VERY jealous if I am even talking to her SISTER, or a cousin or someone like that. Though she tries very hard to NOT show it, I still see it in her eyes.

It must be my personality, and willingness to be good with everyone, that is a fault in her eyes. The same fault that made her fall for me by the way, or so she tells me.

Often times, as has been pointed out already, I have to assure her that it is indeed her that I'm taking home, not the other person I'm talking to.

I have in the past cut short a conversation when I've seen that look in her eyes, and probably will again, but I don't and more importantly won't always.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

If it was a man making eyes at me, I would go over to my own man and give him a very passionate kiss to let him (my man) know that he is what counts in my life.

If it was a woman making eyes at me, my man would give me that look.... "well, what do you think"....
