I'm not sure about that rule: Do not make him jealous. That's a power trip. It's a dangerous red flag. If he feels jealous, that is *his* feelings to deal with. He could talk it out with you, discuss what makes him jealous. But he needs therapy, I think. I don't think this is an AS problem. It sounds more like a controlling problem and as such - well, I can't tell you what to do but give it some thought, please. Controlling behaviour does not often work out.
So it's ok for a person to go out of their way and lie to purposely,are their partner feel jealous?
Why not apply this "it's his feelings" to everything. How dare you feel hurt when I cheated that's your feelings you can't power trip me.
She said she made him jealous using a lie, which seems to mean she wanted to make him jealous.
See some people actually enjoy making their partners jealous because it makes them feel good to be so desired and wanted.
Like people who will purposely flirt with other women/men in front of their partner to gain a response. That's just not right in my mind. Most normal people will get jealous though that's the wrong word use, as jealous means to envy what others have and what's really happening is a fear of losing what they already have.
Some people see others as their emotional play toys.
I think having a rule that says don't try to make your partner jealous is healthy. You can try to make them jealous then get upset when you get your desired reaction.
