Jealousy, and one-upmanship

I was crowned Mr one upmanship UK 10 years in a row.

Open jealousy or the 'well I didn't want one anyway' sort of jealousy?

Jealousy in the insecure sense.

Oh riiiiight.
I get that around thin women, goodness knows why. Proper thin ones, too.

Oh, and ones with lovely hair. And people who can play bass properly, those with nice jobs, that can drive etc etc etc etc etc...

I did that once to Mrs Eddache.
At a gig, I saw a guy chatting to her, and I thought "Ok. You can talk to her. But she's my girlfriend." So (in my head, this was my thinking) to save him embarassment, I thought I would subtley put my arm around Mrs Eddache, thus showing a little sign that we were a couple and he should reassess his intentions. Turned out my hint was about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. Still we all ended up chatting and he seemed like a nice fellow who may have been simply looking for a chat. Mrs Eddache doesn't let me forget that and revels in the fact I got a bit possessive.
I embarassed myself later by forgetting the name of my favourite song by the band we were about to see.
