I'm actually not jealous of other therapy clients except for an old "frienemeny". LOL I'm more jealous of others who I might know doing anything with her. I've seen her out in public a lot and know we know the same people. I wish it was like my other friends - not jealous if I see friends together with friends. I guess I'm just jealous because I can't have it. Someone reminded me that I probably have a unique relationship with her due to the transference. And, that her "friends" probably don't have the same deep relationship we do.
I guess I didn't feel jealous in the past because we texted a lot and I felt "special" due to it. I don't know. And, I'm somewhat tired of talking to her about it. I don't want to annoy her. Doesn't jealousy come out of feeling insecure in a relationship? My current husband was the first man I dated and didn't feel jealous. If I had seen him at lunch with another woman, it wouldn't have phased me. And, I feel it's because I am very secure with him and trust him.
