love's stupidity

Have you been in a shoe where your partner kept alleging you of things you had nothing to do with and when you got mad what you got was the caustic question"Then what makes you furious if you're not guilty?"; but when you said not a single word you got berated with "You're speechless because you know you were wrong and now being incinerated by your guilt!"? If so far not, then you're lucky one.
Stress, among other emotional predicaments would someone suffer for having a nagging partner. I used to ponder upon this Pinoy cliche  "Kung walang baga walang usok (If there's no cinder so is smoke)" and in all fairness, it proved itself somehow right, but never in all cases. It just happened that i mistakenly picked a partner--someone who checks my cellphone in both surreptitious and vulgar manner. Thing i hate most because i am a person who grew up with sense of privacy that whether a person is hiding a thing or two or otherwise is no way part of my business. Thus, i think i deserve to be treated the same way. That simple--respect and be respected.

It's but a norm among humans to be jealous. I, myself get jealous when i see my partner staring at attractive strangers; i get jealous when my partner's phone repetitively rings knowing that we are dining out or enjoying some TV programs or some films on DVD at home; i get jealous when my partner talks to an ex or exes even in the middle of the night; i get jealous when my partner goes out with friends I've never met; i get jealous when i find out that my partner got messaged by an unknown texter; blah blah blah. Yeah, i'm such a jealous guy but hey, i never let jealousy rule my brains. I don't whine over those staring eyes, I don't habitually check that fucking phone, i don't nag about those dates with to-me-unknown friends, i don't talk bad about those stranger texters! Not because i don't genuinely love the person or i don't care about the relationship but because i know my limitations and i respect someone's privacy be this person my lover or not.

I have proven that all that go in excess don't bear sweet fruits because the fertilizer from underneath the soil gets divided into many portions that the distribution of nutrients among the fruits becomes scarce. Metaphorically speaking too much jealousy leads to broken relationship, marred respect between partners, and the worst, a breach that is not possible to bridge with a simple sorry. Yeah, I'm speaking from experience and i tell you I'M SO LOATHING THIS FEELING!
