"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

How many of the women cause jealousy to their boyfriends/husbands ?

10, 20, 50, 100 % of them ?

I remember my wife has done this for our entire 19 years relationship

This resulted in serious harms for our relationship, because I felt low self value
and it has been mandatory for me to look for validation in other women

This fu--ck--ing jealousy cause us feel like a real thing is going on

My opinion is that this can only happen is if a person (man or woman) is easily susceptible to and has difficulty reacting to a jealousy. Jealousy in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, it's how a person reacts to it which causes problems.

Let's just say that most of them will do it if you allow them to get away with it. Also, it's much more common in younger, more immature girls. The older they get, the less they do it.

Women like to feel wanted. A very basic need for a woman is not just knowing her husband/boyfriend thinks she's pretty, but that other guys think she's pretty as well.

That's why when YOU tell her she's pretty, IT'S NOT ENOUGH. She KNOWS you think she's pretty. What she WANTS is for the guys around her to thinks she's pretty too.

That being said, her "causing" you to feel jealous is more than likely her "bragging" about another guy who made her feel pretty. She may not be intentionally making you jealous, she's just on a "high" because someone else thought she was attractive.

The key to handling it is to LET HER brag, but do NOT let it bother you. After all, SHE'S WITH YOU, NOT THEM. She's coming home with YOU, not that guy. Right? So what do you have to be jealous about? If you are jealous you are insecure about yourself. Use that "jealous" feeling to look inside yourself and face your insecurity and get it out of you.

Why do you think I come here and mainly give advice and not seek it?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Tell her to go have sex with everybody around town, you don't care.

That should fix her...lol...

your'e married, so the chances she'll cheat are a little lower with the death do us part society thing hanging over her head.

I'm curious, why did you ask?
Because what he said in the last paragraph is harder than it sounds expecially if you love this girl a lot. Eventhough it maybe true. I think if u show a little bit teeny weeny bit of jealousy(like in your facial expressions) she would actually like it kind of, I think. It kind of shows that you care.

Hey, I never said it was easy. I got myself to a point where I didn't show my jealousy, though (it was hard as hell to do, but I did it).

What, then, did I do instead? When she told me things that made me jealous, I would say something like "That guy has good taste, doesn't he?" and she'd LOVE it.

I agree. Even a subtle gesture such as a slight change in your facial expression can provide the comfort that she needed at that time. It goes back to my premise that jealousy itself isn't bad but your reaction to it is what matters.
