Tell us about the last time you were really,
truly jealous of someone. Did you act on it? Did it hurt your relationship?
Jealousy has
never really been an issue for me, but over the years, I have had my pangs of
envy. When my kids were young, and I was challenged by them, I’d envy those
baby group moms who always seemed to have it all together, never appeared to
get frustrated with their children, and were so confident in their mothering
skills. After my divorce, I sometimes felt a bit of envy for those women who
found the love of their lives the first time around and now have happy, healthy
families and didn’t have to go through anything (like divorce and shuffling
children back and forth between mom and dad) before finding their forever
guy.
I also will
admit that I feel a bit of jealousy when other women flirt with my husband,
even when he doesn’t recognize it as flirting. J All
that said, I have never “acted” on any of these feelings, and I don’t hang on
to them long enough for it to hurt any relationships. I guess I’m pretty lucky that my natural
green eyes are the only ones I have, and there’s no room left for any green
eyed monsters to take up residence.
