The hardest thing is knowing he meets people and is having new experiences (jungle) and I can't identify with it because its all happening in a distant place that I don't know - I don't know the language, or smell, or sounds of the place, so I'm making it up in my imagination. Any women he meets I imagine are all raven haired beauties who go rock-climbing in bikinis and can cook. Of course they are.
I do not feel jealous about trivialities, unimportant things. Why would I be jealous of that? We all have multiple responsibilities and as much as I want to be number one, other things are just as or more important.
No, we trust each other and that's it!
hmm up till now, dun tink so, get jealous when he mentioned other girls but I know I m the only girl in his life now. we always talk things out. probably a gd start since we get to practise trashing things out. I would get jealous if he goes out alone with another girl, but as long as he's clear and tells me about the background about it, I should be fine. I am a little possessive too!

Jealousy is difficult for me... I do feel jealous and possessive because we do have a long distance relationship and no matter what I'm not there and it sucks!
Ehhhhh it's complicated. Obviously because we're so far apart there was jealousy initially. Not even toward a specific person, but just in general. After a while, though, you get jealous of everyone. Jealous of her students and colleagues who get to see her every day, jealous of her friends who get to hang out with her, jealous of the cab driver who gets to take her around the city, jealous of the city itself for getting to host such an incredible human being. It gets really hard sometimes knowing such a big part of you is missing and that there are so many people out there enjoying this big missing part.

No, just jealous of the people who get to see him everyday and I don't
Kind of. I get jealous that your friends at school get to see u more than I do
No. I get jealous but only about certain specific things (2).
No. I don't think so....
No, I may miss my sweet, but there is nothing more I want for him than to live a rich and full life, full of fun and meaningful experiences. I choose to trust him and take that risk because ive never felt more aligned with someone in my life.
No. Trivialities are just not worth getting jealous over. We continue to make a point of pursuing each other and that keeps us big picture oriented.
I agree babe!
