Me... jealous ?!?!!!

[Aphrodisiac]

Well I finally became a victim of the "jealousy monster"

I am not a jealous person, I have never been ... I have dated men & some of them were rather handsome & women would come on to them but for some reason instead of feeling jealous , I would smile and not think nothing of it.

But now for some reason I am jealous. I have been dating this man for a little while now. We are in a LDR so at times it hard for us to see one another on a regular basis .. etc...

But recently he showed me some pictures, he took with his new digital camera. He was all excited so he took a lot of pictures @ one of his family's parties. Well he showed me the pictures & there is this woman in one of the pictures, I did not recognize her. So I asked who it is & he tells me its his ex... she was invited by his mother & he did not know she was going to be there.

I acted all cool when he told me this - he did not notice anything on my part. He continued showing me the pictures.

I do feel jealous that she was there and I look @ her picture and ask myself " is she prettier then me " ..

Agh ! I know I should not question myself but I can not help it... these sort of thoughts seem to be going thru my mind. I am such a loser...


*sigh*


I also feel mad @ myself for letting this get to me ...

Any little ideas on how I can make it go away.

I'm a pretty jealous person...Just because I'm afraid I might lose one of the best things thats happened to me.

I realized with my ex that a relationship with no jealously kinda sucks....When other men would hit on me he would be calm and collected and NEVER cared. At first i though "wow how nice!!" then after a while it made me stop and thing "Wait...does he even care about me....i mean other men make comments and drool and he just shrugs" So i kinda like a little jealousy in a relationship..it makes me feel that i'm still attractive. *Shrugs* but that's just me I guess.

Spez,

I know where you are coming from ...

But I just don't like the whole idea of feeling jealous... makes me feel weak or some thing ... don't know ....

I actully think by showing jealousy that you actully do care enough for that person to feel jealous.

I hate being jealous, but there are times when I can't help it. It's easier to role with it and accept it for what it is, and why it makes you feel that way. It is a completely natural emotion, and as long as it doesn't interfere with your daily routine/activities, I think it's just fine.
