Matt you said you were jealous and unreasonable. I want to know if you can be jealous and reasonable. I think jealousy is a normal response to insecurity and I imagine that that must be similar to what you're feeling with your relationship -whatever its status- with Stephanie. You've been thinking about her for a long time now. I almost used the word consumed but I don't think that would be fair, I don't know that and I can't make that call

Thanks for the reply Ros. Like I mentioned I have just been reading this book for my one class about all the dark things about close relationships, and it was a realization that I am indeed a very jealous person. And I do not like that about myself. Yes, I am afraid of the uncertain and the idea of losing her, but I always thought of myself better in control of my emotions and more importantly, my actions. And it isn't even a control thing all the time, some o f what I do is subconscious. So that is much harder to control. And when I think of it like that, what does that tell me about myself? Is that the type of person I really am? Makes me sad
