"Your boyfriend is already doing his best to ignore the advances he receives. Unless you are ready to tell the hussies to back off, honey, he's mine! follow his lead. Yes, some women are aggressive, tasteless and seemingly desperate. You can't change them, and neither can I, but you can change the way you react to a situation you can't control."
"I remarried several years after my first wife passed away. I thought my two wives were different people, but they share one maddening trait: refusing to use the phone! Of course they talk to the children, relatives and friends, but to no one who must be contacted for a business reason. For example, my wife is unwilling to phone the vet, carpet cleaning service or insurance agency. All such matters are dumped on me."
A woman in an 8-month relationship experiences annoyance when other women aggressively dance beside her and vie for her partner's attention, even though he ignores the advances. She feels boundaries are ignored and seeks ways to handle jealousy and disrupted enjoyment. The partner acknowledges her feelings and tells her to manage how she reacts, continuing to ignore pursuers. A remarried man reports his wife refuses business phone calls, leaving him to handle appointments and communications while she stands beside him giving instructions. The wife's reluctance may stem from perceived lack of expertise but a desire to contribute. Clear communication and redistributed responsibilities can reduce tension.
