Dating Survival Guide: Relationship Tips on Jealousy and Communication

So i have e come to the conclusion that it is a crime against humanity to not  warn young kids and/or adolescents about the perils of dating. You know, you grow up your whole life thinking love is a wonderful things and the world is full of butterflies and rainbows and then BAM. Heartbreak. At your doorstep. Well here I am. To tell you what your parents and TV never did. Here it is. The truth about dating. 

First of all, you should all know about a thing called “jealousy”. 

It’s this horrible feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you find out something you really didn’t want to know but are glad you do know, because now you can see what a lying cheating piece of scum your significant other is. 

Now jealousy is not a bad thing, in moderation. I mean lets face it, jealousy is a sign of love. You can’t be jealous of something without love being involved. Even God is a jealous God. (However something tells me he is better equipped to handle said feelings than us humble human beings…) It starts off with something little, like, your Significant Other (which we will refer to as S.I) goes out to lunch with and old ex. Now, you are completely secure in your relationship with your S.I, but you cant help but wonder "Who called who?" "Did S.I call EX, or did EX call SI?" But then you forget about it because S.I. is back from lunch and you two are together again. 

Then, it gets a little more serious. You’re eating lunch together and someone is checking out your S.I. You know, giving them the eye right in front of you and being totally rude and blatant about it. So you do the trademark "put-your-arm-around-the-SI-move” that us women are so famous for, and let it slide. 

But then, things start getting a little more serious. Your S.I begins to get jealous as well. And let me tell you. THERE IS NO BETTER FEELING THAN KNOWING YOUR SI IS JEALOUS OF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS. Because you know that they are only jealous because they are insecure. Now who has th UPPER HAND?
