One HUGE Green Monster.

Sometimes I get these random thoughts in my head  that I feel like I need to share with my readers. Today is one of those times.

I want to address the huge green monster in the room. Jealousy.

I seriously feel like jealousy is a girl thing. I've never seen Scott get jealous. When other guys try & flirt with me when we are out, Scott ENJOYS it. He likes seeing that other guys are interested in HIS girl.

I'm going to be honest, like I always am here on this blog o' mine, I definitely let jealousy get to me BIG time while Scott & I were dating.
Actually, I would say about 50% of our arguments back then stemmed from me being jealous. At the time, I was surprised it didn't compromise our relationship. But it sure was close, and I knew that I needed to do something about it.
I needed to squash that huge green monster.
& I did.

How? I read books. Talked with friends. I had in depth talks with Scott about my feelings, about trust, about communication, everything.
What saved me from this monster? All the communication. The trust that was built because of it. The reassurance that Scott gave me everyday that I was his.
I was always that girl that doubted myself, I doubted that I was good enough, I always would compare myself to others.
Now, I know I'm good enough. It took a lot of hard work to get here, honestly. It took me a while to realize that Scott wants to be with me & no one else.

Jealousy is a serious waste of time & energy. It starts so many arguments, & it's not fair to the other person. Jealousy is pure poison to a relationship. A relationship with jealousy is not a healthy one.
Trust me, I've learned the hard way.
