Jealous Much?
Yesterday we talked about how to draw the line on flirting and being too tempted. Today, I wanted to touch on how to handle being with someone who is extremely insecure. I’ve had a jealous boyfriend before and it’s not always an easy feat to reassure someone that you are just friendly and flirty by nature. What do you think about asking a person to change that part of their personality so that you can feel more secure about the relationship?
There is only so much jealousy a person can handle. Have you dated someone who was jealous? What were the signs that they were that way? Is there a way to spot this red flag before you are in a relationship with someone?
Have you ever struggled with jealous and insecurity personally? How did it impact your dating or your relationships? What can one do to let the jealousy and insecurity go?

Leggs,
“You sound retarded with that scenario. Sorry, but you do. You might be 30 years of age but you act, talk and think like a 22 year old!
Pick up on Aisle 69 MAN DOWN!”
LoL, I just wanted 2 point out even when u expect it, even when you think u fully aware of the situation, jealousy is an emotion that can creep up on u. That one was a madeup scenario, below happened for real though
Shawty hits me up and says we should meetup at 7pm … eventually at 1am she shows up … I get upset cuz I’m like even if we just fuk buddies that dont give u d right to disrespect me by showing up afta u jus probably left from some dude’s crib … so i tossed her out soon as she came up … did she actually just come from some dude crib? idk … but knowing the type of chic she is there’s a good chance she did … so itz unto d next ho … one dat’ll use more common sense and not flaunt their dirt so blatantly … lol idk … i got issues …. i kno

Everybody wanna talk about turning a ho into a housewife.
What I wanna know is
Can you stand a dog @ss playa upright?
Trying to put every chick he meet in rotation.
Trying to be like Wayne and Drake
and hit every chick in creation.
Thinking he got so much game.
Not even remembering every chick’s name.
Never realizing that his @ss is lame.
Instead of improving on his rotation management skills,
He needs to be focusing on a better way to pay his bills.
He should be coming up with a plan for his life.
But naw, he trying to keep Shaneeka from wanting to be his wife.
He want her to be his girl on the side
or that chick that he hit.
Thinking he “DaMan” when he really ain’t sh!t.
And when his dyck get tired or he done lost his edge,
THEN he wants to find a wife to lay in his bed.
Wanting her to believe that she’s found a prize.
When all that really happened is that he got tired of telling lies.
Or got scared that he would grow old alone.
And have no place to call his home.
Now you want to bring her what’s left of you.
Asking her to give her best to you.
Don’t you realize that she now thinks less of you?
But I digress,
Y’all wudn’t even talkin’ bout this mess.
The subject was turning a ho into a housewife, no less.
But my question remains unchanged.
Can you take a playa out the game?
Or will he just be a dog on a chain?

East Point’s Own,
“If you don’t want to change and you don’t need advice then, why spaek on it at all???”
I want to change, I just dont think this blog will spark that change. Stuff like a change of scenery might work better, etc etc. Anywho that’s for me to figure out.
“Just do what you do and let us blog about other random nonsense and get back to the men vs. women battles???”
I thought a horny bloke dat gets jealous when he finds out someone is cheating (never mind that he tries to keep his relationships casual) would fall under “random nonsense”.
Anywho enough said … let me try n get some work done, i got just 2 more hours before i clock out … sigh not doing my work, that’s yet another one of my immature tendencies … someday i might get fired, but for now i’m getting by

Curiosity gets the best of me…does the blog have an age limit? I’m thinking that some of the blogers today may not be actually old enough to be admitted.

“A change of scenery” may help. The path you’re skidding down will lead you right in the front door of the emergency room. Your scenery will definitely change then!
