And I can certainly come across too blunt.
I have healthy and unhealthy relationships as well (or I guess only my current marriage has been healthy), so I have certainly seen "jealousy issues", both on my part and theirs.
Also, just finished my run, which makes me more chill.
It's ok, we both got there in the end in understanding it seems :)
Yeah, it's a thing. Lots of people have unchecked codependence, abandonment or neglect issues that often masquerade as jealousy. Part of exploring my own jealousy was realizing the thing that that I was actually fearing was abandonment and neglect. I didn't mind my partner sleeping with someone else, but rather the festering fear I wasn't good enough and would be discarded. That wasn't true, and it took time to unlearn and feel safe and to learn what makes me feel safe and secure in a relationship. I learned a lot about myself and I was able to take that forward into me next relationship.
Good to hear, hope your run went well.
