What is the limit of jealousy for partners? Are you jealous of your wife/husband? To what extent?

I am only jealous for my lovers including my family and my darling but ı dont want to hurt them, it is excessive love for me

To be jealous is our common tradition and every Turkish man should be jealous of his partner/girlfriend/wife, if not so, a man can be labeled easily as "deyyus" and sorry for this Turkish word. Btw, how would you translate it?

Turkish men are very jealous I think. Their jealosy goes to the extreme.I don't understand, they flirt with women, cheat on their wives but don't let their wives step out of house. It's a shame!

I think, to be jealous of husband or wife/darling shows lack of confidence for both sides

What else is a man supposed to do? Turkish men are not pigs, of course they should be jealous of their wives(partners). I think your partner is not jealous of you?

In some cases jealousy is needed in order to make our love more powerful..Because personally speaking, If I am envied by my partner but not excessively, I would be more satisfied and happier..Thanks to it, I can think that someone is uneasy and worried about me.And seeing her jealousy, I may behave more carefully..In other words, her jealousy is one of the symbols of her loving me I think..But I repeat that it should never be exeggerated too much...

I've used this word deyyus, but not at that meaning. There are some words to be suggested such as pander, pimp etc. And there is a word for wamen, too: cuckold. :)

Those are too harsh* to say. :D

I didn't mean it. But most often they constrict their lives unduly. My lover boy is not jealous, he lets me go hang out with friends till midnight sometimes. He is free too, we don't put limits to our lives and this makes life more interesting and exciting.

Then what's the limit of jealousy of those men who are not pigs, sir? :smiley6:

Hımmm :) qood question! I can never let my partner look into men's eyes. I don't let her shake hands. Nor do I let her wear tight pants or apparels. When a man lets his partner walk around in such a garment, chances are that a bloke will harass her.

Well, some fathers advise to their daughters those you've mentioned, too. Is it the same jealousy situation or called something else? :smiley1:

A man best knows what another man thinks and feels in such situations. It's kinda "a man knows coz he does it himself" (kişi kendinden bilir işi) :) ...

I'm jealous at my practical life (not at in my love life :p).
I wanna not someone who is better than me.
I've never have a girlfriend, but I'm not jealous (I won't be) at appear. I don't hurt when an event happened, I just "kovmak" her and etc. :p

I could never live with a man who gets irritated when a man at a party kisses me on the cheek.

The way of kissing tells a lot... Is it friendly, passionately or intimately ?

I wouldn't care :D

So then your partner can't be considered wrong with envying you. :)

No he is really a considerate man but this doesn't mean he hasn't any limits. There are times I want him to be jealous of me. But I like being free more.

Jealousy is jealousy. There cannot be any limits, because it is a feeling that is almost impossible to be controlled. I'm jealous of my partner, which is very normal in a REAL love affair just like mine.

I really wonder the times you want him to be jealous of you after the kissing example above :smiley11:

If the feeling of not being jealous is mutual it's OK, I think...

Ok I admit I want to see his reactions from time to time. But I don't like to be surronded with him every moment of my life. Every woman wants to love and be loved

"Interesting question. Not sure if it's jealousy, or territorial behavior. I once had an ex-boyfriend that was so jealous, I told him he should just get it over with and pee on me to mark his territory." Answerbag (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/89876)

Even animals show jealousy or loyalty.. (Doves,Swans,Geese or whatever..)

If it is exaggerated, then problems appear.
Human is not slave or something like that.
Human is independent.
Human has brain and thoughts.
Human can find his/her way.
No need a person to tell him/her the truth, the truth of his/her..
I think nobody has the right to make his/her partner slave, like '' you can not wear it, you can not see him/her''.It seems so childish.Maybe it can be felt well at first, but day after day it becomes unbearable..I know lots of affairs are over because of this.

Lovers should belong together, not owners of their(s).

PS : I wanted to say '' Sevgililer birbirine ait olmalıdır, sahip değil'' , but it is too late and my brain is gone.please, forgive my mistakes.Thanks.
