Jealousy Vs Possessiveness Novels & Stories

" I make fun of him. "Nah! I'm not envious; rather, I'm territorial. Jealousy occurs when you desire something that is not yours. Territorial is defending what is already yours, sweety!" he whispered, kissing my neck. "How did you come to know something like that?" Are you certain you're not a womanizer in that line? "I don't believe so." With what he said, I think I reddened from head to toe! It literally rocked me to my core. That was the first time I'd heard it.

I say before I check the oven again, still time before we presumably pause this argument for an awkward dinner. "But you can't handle it when other guys are around me; it's possessive" She says, picking up her water bottle again. All that yelling must have made her throat hurt. Am I possessive? I'd be more inclined to say that I'm possessive than jealous, but I don't know if it's that much better.

"I think you're jealous." My jaw drops, "J-jealous? You think I'm jealous? God, you are so full of yourself! I'm just doing my job, which is to be informed of everything you tell the press. The fact that you get 'jealousy' out of that is—" "You're right, you're right. You aren't jealous. You're envious. Because jealousy is when you're afraid of losing something that's already yours. Envy is when you want something that you can't, don't, and will most likely never have," Sebastian looks down at everyone and continues with: "Envy seems like a more suitable word then, right?"

She sighs and keeps her stare fixed on my chest, "I was glad that I decided to clear my mind before I reacted to my emotions because later I realized that I was being irrational." "I am not a jealous person." She frowns, looking puzzled as if she doesn't know why she is feeling this way, "But when it comes to you, there is a kind of possessiveness in my heart which I had never felt ever. I hate it when you are not with me, and to see you with someone else just drives me insane. This is not me, Jarek. These feelings are completely foreign to me. And I don't know how to deal with these overwhelming emotions."

His disapproving look grated on my nerves slightly. “I know that,” I huffed at Caleb, “But that doesn’t mean it has to be Dmitri.” “You can’t let jealousy dictate how you handle these things,” he talked like he was scolding a child. I was getting tired of everyone calling me jealous. “I’m not jealous,” I growled through clenched teeth. “Jealousy is for people who want what isn’t theirs. Protecting what’s already mine makes me territorial, not jealous.” Claiming him as mine made Dmitri beam with pride and contentment.

"Jealousy? You're a good-looking man, and women can't help but gather around you. Don't you know you have a girlfriend? Why are you practicing chastity, then? You can easily get all the women you want!" As soon as I finished my sentence, my face blushed in embarrassment. How possessive was I to go all passive-aggressive on him? But I soon found out that there was nothing wrong with being possessive. It was normal for a girlfriend to want her boyfriend to herself. Expressing her desire to own her boyfriend from time to time could let her boyfriend know how much she desired him. It might even make him feel more secure about himself. Not saying anything, not throwing a tantrum out of jealousy,

He doesn't talk about his personal life, but he still could've slipped. Her stomach tightened as she began rearranging it in her head. The jealousy, his possessiveness, the sharp need to win, to dominate, and to never be second. She thought of the way his jaw had tightened when she said he was the backup. "Oh God," she finally let out, getting to her feet. She stood up so fast, making her back hurt, but she ignored it. So it hadn’t just been pride. It had been a wound. A deep one that she had pressed her fingers right into it.

But she wasn’t done. “I get that Alice is the mother of your child,” she said. “But you can’t have two families.” “It’s either you choose me—or them.” “Make a choice.” What a foolish way of talking, I thought quietly as I returned to the table. QUESTION OF THE DAY Millie feels threatened by Alice’s presence in the house. Will she let her emotions consume her—or will she learn to control them?

I know that they mean no harm and that they are just friends, but I don't care. I'm that petty and I will not take it if I see her with men.
