My husband tries to make me jealous?
Lately, my husband tries to make me jealous. Why would he do this, I honestly don't think that he is interested in the other women..but he will do or say something and look for my reaction? Any ideas as to why a man would do this?

I can't speak for all men. I have done this in the past. Personally, I do like my girlfriend, wife, or whoever to be a little jealous. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a controlling woman, but for me a little jealousy shows that you care. I guess you could call it a small ego booster.

coming from a man that has tried to make his wife jealous and not actually cheating on her, i know that at times i was feeling like my wife wasnt as interested as once was, so i tried to make her jealous where she would spend more time and give me more attetion , i know it sound pety but that is some range of emotions a man can go through when he doesnt feel the love he once did

Any man that goes through the trouble of trying to make a woman jealous...is immature. He's probably insecure and he wants to make it a point to prove to himself that you care. He wants to feel that you want him all to yourself and etc etc. Men like that are just a huge turn off for me....before I got married I dated a few that were like that. I'd act completely oblivious and not even care about what or who he looked at and what he'd have to say about them. My advice to you is....to explain to your husband that you love him...and that you care about him deeply...and that you know he makes you try to feel jealous on purpose...and it's immature. Tell him to man up and grow some balls.

To make sure that you are still interested in him. By getting jealous or mad, shows that you care. Which means you care if he is looking or flirting with other women. Kinda an insecurity on his part i guess.

My husband did this to me with the neighbor girl who is half my age. When he didn t get a rise out of me, he kept taking it to the next level. She started coming over everyday, ONLY at times when I wasn t home. They were getting drunk together and spending a significant amount of alone time together. He invited her out to dinner with us a few times without consulting me first. He started planning summer outings with her and telling me that They needed me to come with to drive and watch the kids. It ended one day when I couldn t take anymore, I came home from working a 12hr shift to them being drunk and he whispered in her ear right in front of me and went home with her right after her husband left for work, and she left her kid with me. Didn t say anything to me, just slammed the door on me and out the door they went. What were they doing? I don t know, I wasn t told and they didn t want me there, because I wasn t invited. Needless to say, she doesn t come over anymore and she is no longer my friend. I hope this little ego boost was worth it to him, because now I don t think that I will ever feel the same about him again. A loving husband does not treat his wife like this. It was just cruel. He took it too far and the damage is done. I got really depressed and don t feel the same about him. I am devastated that he would treat me this way.

I would try to make my wife jealous because I wanted affection from her and to push her to "Work" on our relationship. I figured by making her jealous she would try harder to solidify what was lacking. It ended up only making her insecure.

Im not sure how long you have been married but maybe he has bouts of insecurites about your love.. Then again maybe hes hinting about a threesome.. But if this isn't causing any friction just play along with it..

He's trying to get your attention. He wants you to prove that you want him because he might not feel loved or wanted or whatever......Just give him some special attention.....

give more love day by day so that he will not move to other women go with him every where if it is possible do not leave hiom alone.
