Why are men jealous for no reason?
If they're jealous... they have a reason. Usually just insecurities about themselves.
How do you make a mean girl jealous?
- The old saying 'two wrongs don't make a right' applies in this case. Often girls who are mean have problems of their own that cause them to be nasty to others, but that doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to her level. Jealously is a waste of time and if it rears it's ugly head it can only do harm to both parties involved with no ending in sight. Just ignore the girl who is mean as best you can and she will become discouraged when you don't acknowledge her and will find someone else to bother.
Most gods and goddesses of ancient Greece were attributed with human emotions such as jealousy for the reasons of their actions in mythology, that being the lore of the ancient people of Greece. Aphrodite often punished those who spurned her or those who said they were more talented or beautiful then she - this is not only Aphrodite's nature, many of the Greek gods did not stand for insults.
In this way, the mythology of the Greeks stayed in power - if the people thought that the gods and goddesses would punish them for slights and slander and not paying tribute, more people would worship them to stay in favor and so those who benefited from their worship stayed in power.
Curable? Hmmm I guess it's not impossible, but it'll take some work. I guess it depends what caused the jealousy. If your man is giving you valid reasons to be jealous, it'll be cured once he stops, or when you search for someone who treats you better. If jealousy is in your nature, it's more difficult.. He might not be giving you reasons to be jealous and you still are. Then it's obviously a problem you need to deal with. If you have low self-asteem, or you're an insecure person, it's gonna be hard. Try to work at it every day. Trust your partner and talk to him about this problem. He can't solve it for you though. I have the same problem, and I'm still jealous from time to time, but it is better then it used to be.
Why are your girlfriends jealous of your new boyfriend?
Well, if you're referring to girlfriends as you being a girl and your friends that are girls, then its probably because if you're happy, or seem happy, then they're probably not and are jealous of that new relationship of yours. It maybe be because of that happiness, or how your new boyfriend looks, or some other hidden reason. It could be also they're just plain jealous for no reason, and if they are, or are jealous because of some stupid reason, unlesss you have a good longstanding relationship with them, then you need to drop them as a friend probably.
Now, if you're a guy and your girlfriend(s) are jealous of your new boyfriend, then you need to sit her down and tell her something important and something she has the right to know. ;)

How do you convince your boyfriend your not cheating on them?
First of all, if he's accusing you of cheating, then you better believe there's a 99.9% chance that he is cheating and he figures you're doing the same. Double standards exist in men's minds - they can do, but they don't want their women to do it. Best advise - LEAVE HIM NOW !!!!
You are concerned and jealous of your boyfriends female best friend and roommate any thoughts?
well it understandable. You have 2 choices: to tell him that it bothers you and ask him to move out if he can, or to suppress and control your jealousy. If you think that your jealousy might be justified confront him immediately, and if you know its irrational try to get it under control - its very hard, but it would be unfair if your bf lost his best friend just because you are too insecure. After that, if you still cant get your feelings under control, if you are close enough and if you think you have that right, ask him to move out, and if you do that, be sure to apologise and tell him you know its your fault - if he gets the impression you blame him there is no way he will do that for you, and he will have all rights to be furios. Good luck!
Where did 'green-eyed monster' originate?
Many authors have alluded to it from ancient times.
Shakespeare wrote about it in Othello and also made famous from this poem by J Milton Hayes
The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God
There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.
He was known as "Mad Carew" by the subs at Khatmandu,
He was hotter than they felt inclined to tell;
But for all his foolish pranks, he was worshipped in the ranks,
And the Colonel's daughter smiled on him as well.
He had loved her all along, with a passion of the strong,
The fact that she loved him was plain to all.
She was nearly twenty-one and arrangements had begun
To celebrate her birthday with a ball.
He wrote to ask what present she would like from Mad Carew;
They met next day as he dismissed a squad;
And jestingly she told him then that nothing else would do
But the green eye of the little Yellow God.
On the night before the dance, Mad Carew seemed in a trance,
And they chaffed him as they puffed at their cigars:
But for once he failed to smile, and he sat alone awhile,
Then went out into the night beneath the stars
He returned before the dawn, with his shirt and tunic torn,
And a gash across his temple dripping red;
He was patched up right away, and he slept through all the day,
And the Colonel's daughter watched beside his bed
He woke at last and asked if they could send his tunic through;
She brought it, and he thanked her with a nod;
He bade her search the pocket saying "That's from Mad Carew,"
And she found the little green eye of the god.
She upbraided poor Carew in the way that women do,
Though both her eyes were strangely hot and wet;
But she wouldn't take the stone and Mad Carew was left alone
With the jewel that he'd chanced his life to get.
When the ball was at its height, on that still and tropic night,
She thought of him and hurried to his room;
As she crossed the barrack square she could hear the dreamy air
Of a waltz tune softly stealing thro' the gloom.
His door was open wide, with silver moonlight shining through;
The place was wet and slipp'ry where she trod;
An ugly knife lay buried in the heart of Mad Carew,
'Twas the "Vengeance of the Little Yellow God."
There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

What causes jealousy of a mother to a daughter?
maybe your daughter might look preetier than you or she made good grades in school and when you were a child you never gotten anything right. or she won awards and accompished a goal and you've took out the best of you and gave it to her. so there shouldn't be any jealousy between a mother and daughter. you made her. she came out of you. but some mothers do get envy they wish they had something that was good as yours. but you should be blessed that you have a beautiful child!
