I had a really ugly childhood. My mom was mentally ill and unable to take care of us..and my dad was the mean alcoholic... and yet he could be so charming and funny at times. My dad had custody. Was married 2 times after my mom... and we went with him. We fell in love with our new family and then he would f it up and it was over - we grieved.. he picked the next woman... another great lady... f that up to....
Talk about trust issues!!!!! Fear and abandonment issues... what man was even going to understand "who I am" and put up with me.......

...... long story but... I did get married one time to a great guy. Marriage was so hard for me. Not because I wanted to cheat but is was too hard for me to live with someone. I know I'm not good at that. If I did not marry him we would probably be good friends.
My marriage was part of a journey - good or bad - I learned from it and do not regret it.

I have always put my career as my most important purpose... I get many rewards from this. I also enjoy the philosophical side of me.. and I enjoy meeting and conversing with a lot of different people... yes, there can be a sexual attraction as well. Lust is a powerful thing. You can enjoy and you do not have to make life decisions based on lust.. enjoy mutually.

I could go on and on... because this is an area myself and others discuss a lot.... bottom line.. jealousy is such a strong emotion. If you are able to be open with someone and the jealousy does not ruin a good thing - do what you like - but have agreements with others..you may have to amend those agreements...be as respectful to those you let in as you respect your business life.
