I think every women can get extreme in this. And if you say you don’t then you are lieing or have not got there yet.

What i hate most about it is it does not matter what what the truth is when it happens…. They will just search until they find the answers they wanted no matter if it happened or not… And then when and if you decide to give up… You will never let it rest! You will always bring it up… And never forget.

I also hate it when women get jealous about stupid things. I hate it when i am out and my “girlfriend/Partner” will hate a women just because they might look good in what they are wearing.

I really do not think 90% of women even have control over their self.

When I was younger I could get jealous at the drop of at hat. Now at 39 It is blase. I will get jealous if warranted and if it is then I will have a discussion with that person. If it is romance related I feel like if you have this urge to flirt with every skirt…go right ahead but I won’t be around to watch.

Hi Shadia,

I totally agree with you and I love your clarification. That’s why I have readers posting comments and expanding on my ideas. You put the words together very nicely.

Aren’t their studies claiming that jealousy at workplace is good?

Btw, the only Arabs I know are the 15 or so guys n girls I see in the gym so every time you say something particularly about Arabs, I can’t help associate it with them

I’ve stumbled across this site COMPLETELY randomly (I was searching something & your link caught my eye b/c it had ‘Arab’ in it. I, too, am an Arab girl).

Anyway, I don’t agree with you completely.
Maybe you haven’t clarified things to readers.

Jealousy amoug Arabs stems FIRST & FOREMOST from he overprotective/overbearing nature in parents caused by the ill belief that honor is valued in between a ‘daughter’s legs’. Jealous stems from the fact that men–whether they be aa boyfriend or brother or father–cannot believe that women are STRONG ENOUGH to date, are STRONG ENOUGH to handle themselves on their own. Arab men don’t like the idea tha Arab women can be strong & independent–they want their women to be dependent upon them. Once the woman appears to be too independent, male figures become demanding, etc.
