5 Signs of Hidden Jealousy
09.05.2024 02:30
Jealous people are divided into two types: open and hidden.
The first ones are not shy about showing their emotions: it is immediately clear when exactly they are outraged.
But people who exhibit the second type of jealousy demonstrate more complex behavior.
They try to hide their dissatisfaction from their partner, while trying to “take revenge” on their other half or “test” them.
How can you tell if your partner is a secret jealous person? There are several behavioral traits that will give him away.
Passive aggression
If a person does not want to show jealousy openly, then he will probably "harm" on the sly. For example, fulfill requests "the other way around".
It is possible that such a person will begin to provoke quarrels while maintaining outward calm.
Hidden checks
A jealous partner may eavesdrop on your phone conversations.
He will try to do it in such a way that he will not be noticed. But he will not be able to "hide" forever.
Ban on communication with friends/girlfriends
A jealous partner is likely to be distrustful of their significant other's friends, believing that they are "helping" their husband/wife.
“Don’t hang out with your girlfriends anymore,” a woman’s husband may suddenly demand.
Too many useless questions
If your significant other interrogates you every day, things are bad.
“Where have you been?”, “Where did you go after work?”, “Who did you talk to today?”, “What are you writing there?” - if these questions are asked by your partner too often, then this is not a very good sign.
Tries to appear unperturbed
A person who wants to hide his own jealousy will probably do everything in his power to demonstrate his supposed indifference. He does not want to give himself away.
But if the phrase “I don’t care” is combined with constant hidden checks, then this is a reason for an open and honest conversation with your significant other.
