Comments Nastyfeets 30 Aug, I can see where this is true but in reality this would never be okay with me. Nwangele 23 Aug, Bborice 13 May, MariaTerezia 12 May, If we don't trust our lover we should let it goes. The older I am getting the less jealous I tend to be. I guess it has to do with the fact that I learnd that it intoxicated me Evenmore than my partner and the fact that there's nothing that I can do to prevent a nother persons actions, or desisiuns!
Just my own Dear Amy: Around two years ago, after I had broken up with my girlfriend, I started going by myself to a live music venue. I started running into a woman I used to know. Years ago, I had been interested in her, but she had a boyfriend, and I dropped it. She and I got along well. Her boyfriend was still in the picture, but he was never present. I developed feelings for her. Although nothing took place physically, we would meet up two or three times a week, and we texted constantly.
Long story short, after a few months of this, I realized that she had no intention of changing her situation and that the relationship with her would never be more than a friendship. While this had been going on, another woman expressed interest in me. I began dating this other woman. We've now been together for 18 months. We frequent many of the same venues and encounter this other woman regularly. For whatever reason maybe feeling that she was my second choice , my girlfriend cannot get past it.
At first, she badgered me to give up the friendship and to only greet the first woman with "hello and goodbye. If by chance we run into this other woman, my girlfriend's demeanor changes.
I am at a loss here. I don't tell her who she can talk to or who she can be friends with. It's not like we are talking about a former girlfriend. Nothing happened. It was essentially a crush. I've never had a problem being platonic friends with women I once had a romantic interest in.
