Jealousy in relationships: how sensitive men get jealous
It is not obvious that man is a sensitive person in relationships. Although women are the most expressive with their feelings, men also express it but in a different way.
They say that men who are reserved and unexpressive on the outside are sensitive and romantic on the inside. You can barely see a man cry in front of his girl and give her goosebumps. Men are supposed and expected to be robust and masculine to show women that they are strong for them.
Some women love these types of guys who show the really sensitive side. It is a nice way to show love and affection and it is easier for the relationship to grow and communicate. But some women may not like sensitive men. They feel that the relationship can seem so dramatic and that they are always in control of their affair when their man is supposed to do it that way.
When problems like jealousy arise in relationships, men act in different ways to show that they are jealous. For sensitive men, they may not show it by frankly telling you how they feel. But instead, they show it by how they speak and in their body language. Often times, men only get jealous of guys who spend a lot of time with their girl.
Men are silent when angry. They don’t hug you or bother you, you like what you usually do. Sometimes they ask questions that are irrelevant. They do not give an angry tone. Instead, they provide short lines and frequent pauses in a conversation to make you think something is wrong. If you ask them if they are jealous, they will answer NO. But apparently, they really are. They will then show up saying that they just don’t want a guy to take advantage of you.
In a way, it’s her man’s roundabout way of showing that he cares. Sometimes, you should be happy about it because it shows that you mean something to him. He doesn’t want to lose you for another boy.
For vocal men, jealousy is expressed by clearly telling you what is wrong and what they did not like that day. An advantage for vocal men is that you can solve the problem in an instant, since the communication is clear. However, they are less likely to be romantic. They are not very affectionate with conversation.
It’s normal for guys to act like this, but too much of that could also be something to be unhappy about. Both reserved and outspoken men can overreact and can lead to a dispute in a relationship, especially if the conversation is not held at the right time. However, men don’t treat jealousy in relationships as something to talk about. They let it pass like it was no big deal. But they are human, sometimes they would feel it too. So for women, be sensitive to your man’s feelings too.
