This is why we sometimes attract jealous lovers. Initially they make us feel special, wanted and protected. Pretty early in the relationship, however, their jealousy and possessiveness rear their ugly heads and we start feeling stifled and controlled. Why is this? Jealousy is NOT a sign of of love for you.
With the jealous type, there is no freedom or escape valve. The person will want to control your every move and will keep you from living your own life. Years ago, I was engaged to a very jealous man. He was also quite handsome, and I had no idea why he was so jealous.
After I got home from work, he was always at my place waiting for me. For a while, all the attention he gave me was flattering to say the least. But, after a while, I felt stifled. He even questioned me when I wanted to go out with one of my girlfriends, and he bought me a diamond ring after I knew him for only two months.
However, the green-eyed monster sometimes got the better of him, leading us to have vicious arguments. Once we ran into one of my ex-boyfriends while at an opera rehearsal. I tried to reason with him. I told him that I worked in Princeton, NJ, all day and that when I returned home at 6 PM, I only saw him, my boyfriend, who generally left my house at 3 AM so he could get ready for work. Second of all, the trip would have taken me two hours each way, so how in the world could I have gone to work?
He also developed a rash on his hand and he accused me of giving him an STD. Give me a break!!! Because it turned out this insane jealousy was hereditary! His uncle and his brother both SHOT their wives because of imagined infidelity.
I was lucky I found out what he was like before marrying him. What are some of the characteristics of the jealous lover? What can you do if you want to break off with a jealous lover? Good luck to you, because these types of people will tell you how much they loves you if you try to end it.
They might even become violent and you might have to get the police involved. All I can say is: Better safe than sorry! Please leave me a comment. FoxieLadie is a wiz veteran at Relationship Talk. It scares me that I've been in this situation multiple times. Is there something wrong with me? I have a sweet, easygoing nature and people always say I am comforting and nurturing and kind. However it's not like I pursued my boyfriend or let him walk all over me. When he was disrespectful I called him out and then he didn't change after a few weeks so I dumped him.
I am sure he was shocked. But it still makes me feel bad. Am I just better off dating younger men? Share Facebook.

Wants an empathetic women to attend to his child-like needs. The skillful narcissist is a person with some pretty amazing traits. In my opinion, they can be formidable…You can also be charmed by the pulling power of someone reflecting you so as to create a deep rapport.
They have unlocked the door to your insides. A skilled extreme narcissist knows just how to reflect your music back to you so that you feel like he has your playlist of favorite songs.
Early in any relationship ask for what YOU want and see how he responds. Know your must-haves and stick to them. It ties back to their desire to control you, ensuring that you're always at your best, even if it's to the detriment of your mental well-being. There's nothing wrong with being an empathetic, giving person—but it's important to make sure these kind qualities within you aren't taken advantage of.
Do this by being firm about your boundaries: what behavior you will and will not accept, what you're willing to give, and what you refuse to do no matter what the other person says.
Narcissists do not understand boundaries and will try to push through yours when possible. She has seen this include intrusive questioning, disrespect for your time and space, and an inability to adhere to your delineation of boundaries. By setting your strong and uncompromising boundaries, you're telling narcissists to back off. And ditch anyone who makes you feel less-than. Narcissists love someone who doesn't believe in themselves or whose insecurities get the best of them, so one of the best ways to stop attracting narcissists is to develop a strong sense of self-worth.
Obviously, developing confidence and self-love is a lifelong journey, but once you start reminding yourself of what you deserve—and project that confidence outward—narcissists will see you're not someone easily manipulated and therefore not a good victim for them to prey on.
A person's values speak volumes about who they truly are. We can intuitively sense, most times, if someone truly connects or not. If only what you saw was really what you always got. In the case of narcissists, their personalities will fluctuate dramatically depending on the situation they're in.
A narcissist's public and private selves are more extreme in presentation—particularly in their treatment of a partner. If an individual is consistently respectful and charming in public, and consistently abusive and demeaning in private, it is likely to be a narcissistic red flag," says Dorfman.
While it's easy to brush off red flags, especially when a person comes off so well to others, trust your gut and take action when they appear. A healthy relationship won't feel like something is off—believe yourself that there is. If you notice that someone is imposing their opinions on you and gets mad when you don't listen—run away! From criticizing your appearance to consistently attempting to control your behavior or trying to make you a mold of them, Dorfman explains each of these controlling actions are narcissistic tendencies.
The right partner will appreciate you for who you are instead of trying to make every choice for you. As you begin to understand the signs of a narcissists and what type of person narcissists are attracted to, it'll begin to become much easier to avoid them over time.
