What do you do or what should you do when your wife/husband is the very jealous type? S/he doesn't wanna see you around any other fe/male. Is that distrust or something. I call such attitude: negative jealousy!!
 
It really comes down to trust, and pride. If she is jealous of you even talking to another woman then there is a serious trust issue going on, where she does not trust you enough to know that you can speak to another woman without anything happening. This can stem from some pain from her past. This is something you would just need to talk out with her, and reassure her that she is the only one for you. Also, it is a good idea to never put yourself in a position where poor assumptions could be made about your relationship with another woman (i.e., being alone with them for any reason).

Thanks for your input. But the OP is not about me;). I just thought I could start a thread on this issue. (In some cases this jealousy thing is inborn in a person). One of my cousins doesn't want any guy around my sisters:( He detects it.
 
I do frequently worry about this. I work in industries that are fairly man dominated and have men that are friends (and just friends, I do not cross those lines). Luckily I've been sharing everything with the gentleman I'm dating and because of that we've built up a level of trust and honesty between us. Must be working, we'll hit a year of dating very soon.

Goodluck :)

Jealousy, as with many other things, has its root in pride. Which is a sin issue. Have you ever asked your cousin why he feels this way?

He's so fond of us all, especially our females. Maybe he's too overprotective of our females. He doesn't give any reasonable answer why he behaves this way. (I may have that trait too....dunno anyway)

I monitor my sisters and female relatives a lot despite the fact that most are older.... i really trust them.
 
There's nothing wrong with "keeping an eye" on your relatives (regardless of gender). That's being a good brother/sister/husband/wife ... but there is a line that some folks do cross over ...
 
Thankfully, I've never had to confront this. Not sure what I would do other than to try and talk through the issue with my wife and see if we couldn't come up with a mutually satisfactory solution.

I think in some cases there are no remedies, honestly. The thing is inborn in some people. Maybe it takes a miracle to change them....or a partner should be careful how s/he relates with the opposite sex. (And in some cases it's not all about distrust....dunno...... It's all about you and me forever - no intruder)
