I was just chatting with Cute Dot when the topic of a possesive partner sprung up.Below is an extract:
| . Session Start (jay.walk:Cute Dot): Wed Mar 15 23:32:41 2006 Background: Cute Dot was telling me about her funny friend MIW [23:35] jay.walk: oh yes. i want to meet MIW!

[23:42] Cute Dot: she will juz find it rather true [23:42] Cute Dot: n mabbe give her smthing to think abt [23:42] jay.walk: okie. Session Close (Cute Dot): Fri Mar 17 08:36:42 2006 . |
Personally, I have been through miserable times with SuperGlues and was just wondering about 2 things.
One is that I wonder if anyone has any similar experience? If you recall, I had a nightmare of the "Nursing Kind" and that was merely the tip of the iceberg. I can tell you that I have been through a lot more times (I wasn't a very bright kid back then) before I finally learnt my lesson.
The second would be that while I may grimace at the thought of being on a leash (and a short one, if I may add). I am sure that there are just as many people out there who would disagree with me.
What do you think?

i think to have a possessive gf/bf is damn cham la. Machiam no social life like that. I wouldn't wanna give up my social life for a guy. But that's just wad I say now, since I don't have one and am so used to my freedom.

I'm not possessive, just dun wan to let my self-esteem get the best of me by being superficial.
Thursday, 23 March 2006 11:23 am
hmmm...depends on what is the degree of possessiveness. there will and should at least be a a little possessiveness in a relationship, otherwise, it'll be a free-for-all, no?

i used to think that i am not possessive but when u r in it, u might be possessive for the wrong reasons.
but now, i think it's easier to force oneself to do what i want people to do to me. cos sometimes being possessive makes guys can't breath & get sick of being controlled especially when there are still mcps around.. haha
if i dun like being controlled over my current lifestyle, i shouldn't do the same to my partner too.
it's easier said then done :P

After reading all these, possessive, yes, to a certain extent. But definitely not to call the other party every hour or every few hours to check his/her whereabouts. Probably just an sms to show that u miss the other party would do. But i really dun like frequent sms or calling. I will ignore de... :P maybe cos I haven't meet the ONE yet bah. Dun know.

Actually I think possessiveness is a sign of insecurity. Either that or one don't trust the other. Ay, must have self-confidence ma. I love confident men.. They are sexy. Muahaha..

Why ribena? I don't understand the ribena part. Actually I think possessiveness is a sign of insecurity. Either that or one don't trust the other. Ay, must have self-confidence ma. I love confident men.. They are sexy. Muahaha..
21. Pam left...
some call it insecurity when you are glue-y. others who aren't glue-y may be labeled 'confident' (which is a good thing i suppose), or 'arrogant' (which isn't such a good thing). so.. i haven't really helped i think in sharing what i think, but hey, you asked for it! :):)
i think, it also depends on the amount of trust you have in that person, and the level of communication the pair of you are used to from the start. for eg, if you promise to call, and then don't call, then i think your partner's got the right to panic, be possessive, start calling you to find out if you are ok etc. if you always call at a certain time, and then actually do call at that time, then it's fine - it instills trust.
i'm rambling now. sorry!!
Thursday, 23 March 2006 5:19 pm
i think the level of gluey-ness depends on the individual's perception. some think calling everyday's gluey, others think calling every hour is gluey but need to at least call once per day. it's quite dependent on the person, to be honest! others need their partner to reply SMS back asap, others don't mind waiting a few hours, days whatever.some call it insecurity when you are glue-y. others who aren't glue-y may be labeled 'confident' (which is a good thing i suppose), or 'arrogant' (which isn't such a good thing). so.. i haven't really helped i think in sharing what i think, but hey, you asked for it! :):)

i agree wif Pam, it depends on the level of communication between both parties. So long as the partner or the other party dun complain can liao. Who cares what the rest say?

winter: I'll keep my finger's crossed for you.
kIm: I was refering to the Ribena TV commercial back in the early days where this little girl ask for some Ribena from a little boy. The famous line by the boy was "Yes, but not to much."
The way I see it, possessiveness only stems from one thing and one thing only. Insecurity.
Pam: Trust the doctor to write a paper about it here. :)
Life is much easier now with SMS, instant messengers and post-it note i.e. a person sends a message and the other party can respond as and when available.
I remember the psycho girls of yore where they keep calling your phone over and over and over until to you pick up.
Just when you thought it was some emergency due to her urgency, it only turned out that she just "wanted to hear your voice". *facepalm*

Jaschocolate & hitomi: I think hitomi hits the point right between the eyes. As long as the level of what's agreeable and what's overboard is reached between the couple, all would be peachy and rosy.
It wasn't the case for me during my period of Les Miserables.

on the other hand, as a result of emails, IM, skype etcetc, people DO expect the other party to react almost instantaneously, otherwise you assume that they are 'ignoring' you, or chatting to other girls, or whatever. whatever happened to days when it took the boat 3 weeks minimum to sail across the seas, and then a postman on bicycle to deliver stuff!! :):)

I do have a colleague whose hb keeps calling and it nothing serious.... *face palm* quite irritating loh cos a lot of time, he call when she not around.
Last time, I also got another friend whose bf call and when she say she's with me, he dun believe. *slap him!* I must speak to him before he believes us... -_-"'
I agree, I believe that it all boils down to security and trust.

when an email/message/SMS is not replied (again, disregarding the type of relationship you have), then the feeling one gets is that the other party does not care enough.
of course, there are always exceptions. i have friends who i know are not very good at replying emails, and i accept that. they end up calling me eventually, or we leave each other phone messages/SMSs!
Friday, 24 March 2006 6:19 pm
Hi Jay, disagree with that thought. although it probably does require a level of understanding, i think because of the availability of emails, cheap phone calls, IM etc, people still expect the other party (be it bf/gf or work colleagues or just friends) to reply almost instantly. which explains why we have the 'autoresponse message' that tells people that we aren't around, or the 'yahoo' message that we're 'busy/stepped out'. when an email/message/SMS is not replied (again, disregarding the type of relationship you have), then the feeling one gets is that the other party does not care enough.

Akk: Now there a thought for I highly doubt it. Sekali, it's a blog about your blog. ~LOL.
Pam: I don't claim to be an authority about this but I almost never use those "out-to-lunch/busy" status thingies. More often then not, I get called away at the snap of a finger and most times, it doesn't allow me to set the status before leaving.
Everybody who chats with me are aware of this, which is the "understanding" that I am talking about.
I supposed it boils like to how much benefit of doubt you earn from the other party over the years.

I think hor, there are 3 states a relationship can exist - 1)independent 2)dependent (ie.possessive) & 3)inter-dependent. 1 and 2 no good. But 3 is the best. Explanation - If looking for independence in relationship, might as well remain single. If dependent, then no self-identity/individuality and relationship becomes stale because the person becomes boring (speak from experience mah). No 3 leh, learnt from experience, self-identity preservation must still exist but no man is an island and "two is better than one" so must also learn to be vulnerable - therefore inter-dependent... make sense boh? Check out about codependency (http://www.recoveryresources.org/codependency.html). The qn to ask is :Are you codependent? If so, then you are also possessive.
Eh, how to link URL to a word Jay? And, what is chio? it keeps coming up. means chic?
