I try not to be too jealous, but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't happen every once in awhile. Mostly it's completely irrational, and I try not to act too much on those feelings. Just the inner caveman coming up again. I agree it's about trust, though.
I'm also usually okay with my girl going out and doing things without me. I'm usually pretty easy-going. I'm not the sort where I have to be around a person every day all day, and alot of my past failed relationships had at least a little bit to do with her needing more attention than I can give. (I need some "me" time every once in awhile. :)

Well I'm in an unusual situation at the mement in that the guy I'm sleeping with isn't exactly a partner, just a 'friends with benefits' scenario (well, it has been over 5 years since I was last in a relationship!)
We're just passing the time till something real comes along. I've told him that I'll be really happy when he settles down with someone but will of course tone things down to strictly platonic at that point!
I'm not exactly jealose when he goes on about the couple of girls he's crazy about but I gotta say it's not great for the old ego!

Hi all -
Fun thread! I've been out of town and off the net, and I'm bummed I missed this. There's so much interesting stuff here that I wish I could have piped in on, and I've only gotten through ~1/3 of it.
I can't possibly type out all my thoughts, but here's my situ: I've had a few years off relationships because I had a bad one, but over the past few months I'm just so ready to go again. Problem is, my standards have gone up. I'm not gonna deal with the crap I did before. I'm also living in a desert of single grown-ups, there's not many options.
It doesn't help that I have weird-ish relationship needs. Especially re the men-do-this, women-do-that stuff. I don't act so standard womanlike, but I love manly men. I've found that the men I'm attracted to have different ideas of a relationship than I do.
I really could be a gay man in a woman's body. What to do?!?
So that's why I'm loving the stuff you were chatting on last week, about what men/women want. I'll keep catching up, and can't wait to see where it goes!

BTW Emma - my last was a friend-with-benefits that tried to go serious. Lasted a few years that way, but ultimately didn't work. It ruined the friendship. Not to be all negative, but I'm just saying... be careful!

This one was getting unwieldy...
Holding until you get back, Captain.
