I'm the LEAST jealous person I know - even when I had every right to be. I had a situation this summer/September where someone was taking advantage of a relationship - and I was hurt. But you know what? I'm still not the jealous type.
I am truly happy for every good thing or happiness that comes to other people - and I would be lying if hints of jealousy don't creep in, but they don't interfere with my true feelings.
I think that some jealousy is totally natural. When it gets out of hand - that's when it causes problems.
On a side note - anyone that I know I am totally not jealous of. I mean my best friend could walk up to my husband, and kiss him smack on the lips and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. But then, I'm also one of the most trusting individuals around, too.
I always give my complete trust - unless/until someone gives me a reason not to. Once bitten, twice shy, babe. I used to be like that with my students - I would trust them until they gave me a reason not to. After that, forget it.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Just some thoughts. You asked! LOL!
But then I wonder - really - what's the difference between jealousy and trust?????? Any thoughts? Sometimes, I think the differences are clear, and sometimes, the two become intertwined.
