Jealousy

jealousy kills!

It's not love that is blind,but jealousy. yet, he that is not jealous is not in love. So in its own way, jealousy and Love are sisters. But i would finish it by saying Jealousy is a mental Cancer.

Polkadots, that was just tongue-in-cheek :o) since it rhymes!

Oh...u a museum piece..the king cat we'll c u there

I'm up on display every Wednesday at the Museum of Modern Art from 5.00pm to 10.00pm

where can we see u smokey to give u a....er...a slap???

I offer my humble apologies to everyone, but if you ladies see it fit to "slap" me I'll take my punishment like a man!

Smokey....Stop it.

Dont make my fantasize much :(

Smoke,You just voiced my similarly confused mind!

"Soooo the best strategy would then be to slap her way to the top, yes?"

What sort of slapping are we talking here..i could think of different kinds of slaps that i would enjoy :)

Eagley, care to explain your question a bit further?

I think you need to see a marriage councilor or better still , get rid of your husband...

Lucy Cow you watch too many Indian Family Soaps....now Shaadaap!

Jealousy is simply and directly related to the other person's inferiority complexes.My husband is pretty dark complexioned and short but i m thin and tall and fairly white.Now i wear something good and it suits me well too than he comes back from the door and says that he dont feel like going out.If somebody in his office invites us for dinner he says his wife is from village and he dont feel like bringing her along as I dont know english or hindi..Now if his foreigner friends comes to house for some good indian food he explains them that how much effort his family took to teach me the cooking properly.He feels good in abusing me other's presence.So he enjoys his jealousy and i enjoy his complexes...no rescues..

Cabbage: I wore my "I ♥ Guiness" T-Shirt - went down a treat with hubby :-)

polkadots said "...it is down right deadly if she is smart, successful and professional...The easiest allegation is that she got to where is by sleeping with the bosses."

Soooo the best strategy would then be to slap her way to the top, yes?

The sad thing is if the person who's jealous of another is not self aware or is blind to it himself but it's clear as day to others. What goes around, comes around some day.

"And we all know a woman cant be smart and PRETTY at the same time." - Yeah, they can be smart and pretty AND loaded at the same time. :P

/Btw. "loaded" could be a gun in the bun :P

Smokey,At least in this part of the world even a passable face would do the trick,... BTW , keep telling your self that"And we all know a woman cant be smart and PRETTY at the same time. :p" might work as a soother:D

Doesn't she have to be PRETTY for such allegations to be made? And we all know a woman cant be smart and PRETTY at the same time. :p

I guess women face issues with jealous co workers around more than men:(, .... it is down right deadly if she is smart, successful and professional,...The easiest allegation is that she got to where is by sleeping with the bosses.

nadine dont lie..you are always jealous that i'm taller than you :P

Perhaps I can help. I've got an old wig weaving machine my grandpa used to have.

It's a little family hair loom.

When i see mens with dense and silky hairs on their head i get Jealous....:(

What to do yani ?

i've never been jealous! and i hate jealous ppl!! There's nothing you can do over jealous co-workers, flatmates, friends, classmates, family members, etc...its just the way the world turns!!

I was not saying you wore green for jealousy- just checking you wore Green for Paddys Night :-)

Dracula a two timer now? Tsk! Not good.. lol

Come on Drac, green's not a good shade on you either. Brit may get the best girls, but remember they are just virtual girls, you have a "real" best girl...I reckon he's jealous now :-)

So Drac your eyes are on Snessy now???I am jealous...

Oh...jealous Dracula...

You don't know Snessy: she's an elegant lady too!

Don't be jealous...be better.;)

Ohh..sweet Snessy!

I'm beginning to hate Britex.

I am deadly jealous!

He always gets the BEST girls ;O(

No Cabbage, I was saying green isn't a good look on me. :-)

I am jealous of Sean Penn and I have no intention of getting over it. I sit here thinking of a way to hurt him :(

Sssshhh Brit, I think I styled it out quite well...although I do think I got it correct the first time, Mr Jack Daniels keeps changing my mind.

Did you wear green lol

I am not envious at all of anybody - I have what I want and I am grateful. I am also really pleased when people do well.

Yet - when I first started going to the gym with my husband his PT (a woman) said, to me; his wife...look how gorgeous he is - hasn't he done well - he has lost so much weight etc, etc bleurgh.

I was so like - back off *itch, get your hands of my husband rofl

I know he would never do anything to hurt me and I am so not usually jealous but that time - I was the wife who was saying back off you slim, fit, blonde bombshell rofl.

I had a touch of the green eye then (shame on me). x

I was not jealous of his achievements or her touching him - just jealous of her body - more gym for me then lol x

Its Ok..

You looked great at last year's St. Patrick's Day bash ;o)

Deleted, was having a blonde moment.

Mom_me

yes you are very true. In the grip of jealousy, we entirely forget that the true nature of love.To work with jealousy we need, as always with the destructive emotions, to recognize it for what it is as it occurs. My fear is that the jealousy which is a negative form of love should not destroy ones career or success as I hear many stories in which innocent people are the victims of this green eyed monster

1. Make sure you have written official orders. Helps when someone wants to create confusion and mischief.

2. If possible, have eye witness around when you are working with jealous colleagues. Never be alone with them. This way they cannot misconstrue or twist any of your actions or work.

3. Make a double copy of important official documents before filing them.

Hope this helps.

SeanTrumpLostPa....be honest.. who did you call "wonderful lady"?

Sid, I agree with you and thanks. I believe in helping others to achieve and be as successful as you.

Thanks a lot guyz for all the comments. Brit, for a moment or so you were jealous at something...bet you!

Women are more likely to be jealous about social relationships; men to envy others in a competitive way.

So jealousy is everywhere

lol - if you go back to the thread it was a blast - I am jealous of you though - I got told off by the Mod - you did not lol ;-)

Thank you for your birthday wishes x shhhhhhhh, I am sticking to 40 though lol

ahhhh yes yes Cabbage it was you, its all coming back to me now.LOL.

Cabbage, 47 is a fine age. life begins at 40.

well well well, we have a bday lady here.A very Happy '42nd' ; ) bday in advance.

this calls for a treat.LOL

Jealousy is fact of working life. Best to ignore them and leave them in the dust. They won't be grateful if you do a worse job.

lol - I think it was me you called a 'wonderful lady' not sure though.

No need for your wife to be jealous though - I am no oil painting and turn 47 tomorrow so an oldie too :-)

I agree with you Brit - ignore it and move on.

Drraaccc, COME ON man stop laughing at me. LOL..I've been looking at this forgetful old man in the mirror since 12pm.and to tell you the truth this guy in the mirror looks just like me.

First you forget names of the wonderful ladies, then you forget passwords.

Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.

Indeed!

..

PS: Learning to be elegant ! :P

There will always be jealous people around you. the main thing is not to let it affect you. I know, its easier said than done, but it works out better in the long run..

Cabbage speaking of jealousy awhile ago all of a sudden my account got dislogged and then when i tried to log in using my ID and password it gives me an error of wrong password.I asked my wife and she got jealous last night coz i was being too cheezy.she said i called someone a 'wonderful lady'.God knows who did i call a wonderful lady.

This comment goes out to my wife, honey there is no one as wonderful as you (of course you being a bit old and all.hope she don't read this)

No need to be jealous - go back in there and fight like the man you are :-)

Back to the topic - do you think a little jealousy is a good thing?

I know, but i'm beginning to hate him. He always gets the girls ;O(

Sorry, I digressed ..... back to the topic..

That will be two Hail Marys and a Glory Be for you then.

No need to be jealous - I have still got the tweezers ready for you :-)

Nothing wrong with a bit of 'healthy' jealousy. x

Forgive me father for I have sinned .

I was weak last night and felt a tinge of jealousy when that smoothy Dracula managed to sweet talk Elegantlady. :o(

Jealousy is a sad thing to happen, especially for the person who feels jealousy. All of us have, at some point or the other, felt jealous. And the least one can admit to, is the fact that they're feeling jealous and need to get over it with.

It happened to me when I was jealous of my friend who got an opportunity to study abroad when I couldn't. I sulked when I was alone, and when I was with him, I felt low because all talks revolved around his opportunity.

I dunno why, but one day, I just told him straight "Bro, I'm jealous abt ur opportunity." and told him how I felt. I felt so light later, because we had a great talk over how things were changing etc.

The most important thing if you are a part of the jealousy circle, is to talk about it- even if U r feeling jealous or are being the target of a jealous person. Just Talk it out. Things may or may not improve, but its definately not worth keeping excess baggage alongwith you in your heart and mind.

Nothing you can do. Just cover all sides so they can't hurt you.

I don't get jealous and keep my business to myself so others are not jealous of me.
