I hope I don't get into too much trouble for this, I don't know what the rules are for quoting material.

They may not like it and find the notion of "dating" others distasteful and yes, jealousy can been seen as "infantile" and not consistent with love. It can be seen as possessive...yes, it is a manipulative "tactic" in the purest sense when used this way, but that does not lessen it’s effectiveness, it can be the absolute quickest way to get a partner (that is leaving you) to turn their head long enough to see what they may be losing...

Jealousy is just one of those aspects of human nature that are so readily and clearly observable and probably has a biological basis to it yet many are quick to deny. Like it or not, it is connected with the survival of the human race and is effective in re wining a wandering spouse.

You should also keep in mind that you don't have to have a real flesh and blood person to "act" as your partner’s rival. The rival can be purely a fictitious. Once the doubt is sown in a partner’s head that they may really lose you they may find they are not as prepared to lose you as they think. It may cause them to rethink the situation..."

I was surprised to find that in there since this one is a much "softer" book than Homer's. Oddly enough this is consistent to what we were saying earlier.
