Thanks PlatinumHeart and Divine. I understand where you are coming from Divine, but not all relationships are victims being held with power by their abusers. I know you don't see relationships with a positive light very often, but I know there are some that are filled with nothing but trust and love. All I have to do is look at my grandparents. 63 years and going strong.

Platinum, I think I found a way to inner peace. I am finally embracing the act of finding things I love about myself and indulging in that feeling of self love. I am starting off with physical attributes and going from there. I think they call it self discovery of sorts. I am thinking that by loving myself more fully, I can quell those jealous feelings a bit.
