Should You Flirt to Make A Partner Jealous?

By

I Want You to Notice Me

When a relationship first begins, infatuation is the order of the day – you only have eyes for each other and can’t spend enough time together. There is no saying on how long this infatuation will last, but it is an almost certainty that the intensity of the feeling will eventually fade into something more enduring.

However, it is easy to feel under appreciated and somewhat unattractive when the flame doesn’t burn so bright, which can lead to a need for attention. When your sex life is less than it could be and the complements aren’t flowing as freely as you would like, it is so easy to be tempted by the flirtatious co-worker or fit trainer at the gym.

So should you engage in a little flirtation to make your partner jealous, in the hope that they will realize your still desirable?

A Bad Move

Flirting with another to attract the attention of your partner is not a wise decision. You could be hoping just to ignite a spark, to instead find your relationship in tatters, following your betrayal.

Relationships are hard work; once the initial excitement has cooled you really do have to learn to be a good partner. Men can find it difficult to remember the importance of the sweet, romantic gesture, while women need to find a way to let the minor gripes go.

Instead of creating another problem in solution of another, talk to your partner and try to get to the root of the issue, the decreased attention. Is your partner insecure or struggling with the status quo of life in a relationship, or are they simply so secure in your relationship that they don’t feel a need to sweep you of your feet…they are just happy to be with you.

It is a problem that many relationships encounter at some point, it just takes a little effort to reconnect…so instead of looking for flirtation elsewhere, make time to flirt with your partner.

Things To Know About Your Partner

By

There is nothing wrong with knowing all there is to know about your partner before really committing.

They may say that love is blind, that some people you can’t help but love. So you turn a blind eye to some things and don’t ask about others for fear of what the answer may be. But, ignorance is not always bliss, and trusting someone completely without really knowing them may lead to even more heartache in the long run. So maybe you should protect yourself and learn the really important stuff about your partner before you committ to forever.

  • Bad Habits – You can probably accept that your partner snores when they lie a certain way, a nudge in the ribs usually does the trick. But, nose picking, nail biting, leaving dishes in the sink, not replacing the milk, all of these combined may lead to a hell of a lot of irritation. Are they really worth it, because by the time you meet them, they are probably way to ingrained to be changed.
  • Their Reputation – Reputations exist for a reason, if your partner has a reputation for being quite the player, there is a chance that they have been at some point. But, don’t write them off straight away; people can change, you will just have to build up the trust before you get too serious.
  • STD Status – It is amazing how many couples jump into having unprotected sex with their partner because they take their word that they have been careful with other partners. That is just dumb, dumb, dumb! It is not unreasonable to ask your partner to have an STD check before you hop into bed with them unprotected, as long as you do the same for

Friends That Are Bad For Your Relationship

By

You might love them, but some of your friends are just toxic to your relationship.

Friends are awesome, no doubt about it. We probably wouldn’t get through life without them to hold our hands through the bad times, and laugh with us through the good. But, there are some friends that aren’t as good for you as they seem – they may unknowingly or totally knowingly be sabotaging your relationship. A relationship that could have amazing potential, but is being ruined by the unwanted imput from your friend.

Here are the friends that are bad news for your relationship…

  • “Don’t go through what I did” – These friends are probably just looking out for you in their own way. They have had a bad relationship experience and don’t want you to go through the same hurt that they did because they love you. But, this overprotective nature may be bad for your romantic relationships – you need to let them know that there is some good people out there, and you have to find that out by yourself.
  • “You can do better” – Not everyone will see in your partner what you do, which can mean that one of your friends may not like them. They may think that they are not good enough for you, or that you can do better – you may find yourself influenced by their opinion especially in a new relationship. You have to make your own choices and mistakes, if it goes wrong then your friend should be there for you. Beware, there could be a sinister side to the ‘You can do better friend’, they may in fact be hoping you will dump your partner so they can try and get themselves a slice.
  • “You never have time for me anymore” – Most people have that friend who need lots of attention because they are often the single one of the group. They are always hinting for invites, giving you the puppy dog eyes and big sighs. So you invite them to your cinema trip with your partner, and sunday lunch, and to the beach. It may seem like a good idea to you to keep the peace, but your partner may not like it as much. Encourage your friend to meet new people and put aside one night a week where it is just the two of you.
  • “Keep your options open” – There is often a friend who has particularly loose morals, they liked to play the feild at college and haven’t yet grown up. They may think its “lame” that you have committed yourself to one person and try to encourage you to take home a perfect stranger, just because they gave you the eye. Maybe they are trying to feel better about their own poor decisions, but it is time to tell them to let go of how things used to be and back off.
  • “I’m just having a laugh” – Perhaps the most toxic of friends to a relationship is the one who constantly flirts with your partner and then claims they are ‘just having a laugh’ if you get upset about it. Get rid of this friend and do it fast as they are bad for your relationship and bad for your confidence, and more than likely trying to get their grubby hands on your partner.

Your friendships and romantic relationships should be able to co-exist happily together – if they aren’t it may be time to re-address things.
