But, Girls,
This Doesn't Give You The Right To Be Psycho
Fine, you need constant feedback and constant attention. The boy in your
life should accept this. But that doesn't mean you actually get to throw fits
in front of his friends and family. Let the definition of a "fit" in
this scenario be anything you do where his friends and family know how cranky
you are. Crankiness is a special, private thing that should be saved up just for
your loved one, ok? Another issue, of course, is jealousy. Jealousy is
something that you're stuck with, and I don't think it's an unreasonable emotion
to have. In many cases being jealous is the only nice thing to do--makes the other
person feel important. But you just can't go overboard with jealousy, and you
really just can't act on it. Going overboard means being jealous of every single
person he ever sees or talks to--male or female--except for you. Identify just
who you're jealous of--and stick to it. (Personally, ex-girlfriends make me crazy
while current flirtations don't bother me at all.) Acting on it means expecting
him to seriously change his behaviour to accomodate your jealousy. You may expect
little changes, maybe--being extra affectionate with you when the two of you are
around someone who stresses you out, for example. But demands that he completely
ax that person from his life are not acceptable. (You are perfectly within your
rights to ask that she not be invited to your wedding, however.)
