If a lover with poor self-image (low t-bars, small capitals) has these tiny loops, he’ll become like Anmol. He’ll always fear that if he loses this girlfriend, he won’t get someone as “good” as her.
Apparently, greed-eyed people suck. But in moderation, jealousy is sexy. Partners enjoy it because when one gets jealous, the other feels wanted. A little bit of it, I think, adds some spice to our lives. But dealing with an extremely jealous or possessive person is stifling. You feel like you are being watched all the time. The fear of explaining to your partner a few minor aberrations, such as a delay in coming home, an out-of-the-turn meeting in office and a sudden get-together near your workplace, weakens all bonding and flushes out the romantic chemistry. This is where the tendency to tell lies starts flaunting its biceps and triceps. The situation gets worse if the green-eyed monster is resentful and has subconscious anger against the opposite sex. In that case, he can use physical force to prevent the object of his affection from “going away” from him. In comparison, such a person will come close to a jealous husband like Nana Patekar in Agnisakshi who tortured and physically abused his wife, Manisha Koirala, because he thought she was planning to leave him.
It’s best to avoid extremely jealous people because they can really jack up your happiness. But sadly, they are unavoidable and become a part and parcel of our lives. So how does one handle jealousy? How does one deal with a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend who is jealous?
Intelligent people (I’m definitely not one of them) say if you are jealous, you need to talk. You need to stop assuming and ask questions.
Imagine Anmol saying this to Devyani, “I don’t want to feel this jealously. I want to get rid of it by asking you a question. All right? Good. So, do you like Palash?”
And then hear Devyani saying, “Goodness! He just wanted to go out with us because his girlfriend had dumped him that day. I love YOU like crazy!”
Bang! The hidden communication is revealed. The mystery is resolved. Anmol feels much better.
But Anmol did not communicate. So, Devyani’s communication with Palash made him jealous, afraid and angry. The result: their relationship crashed.
Similarly, Devyani could have told Anmol one day: “I’m meeting this friend Palash for lunch. I want to introduce you to him. Please join us. No, in fact, you HAVE to join us.”
Sounds good and sexy, right?
Communicate your feelings for your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. Tell him or her how you feel. Express your love. Show your affection. Resolve the mysteries of the past. Discuss your feelings in the present. Make plans for the future. Because of communication, relationships can be a big success.
