Thanks, bee.

Hubby used to be "bad jealous"...to the point it threatened our marriage when it escalated to my checking the minutes I was gone from home, him calling my mother when I was just visiting her, as well as other things I won't list her (wardrobe choice questions, etc.). Needless to say, it was very bad.

I finally told him that if he was going to keep making me pay the price for something I hadn't done, he'd be sorry; that I was done. I then went on to tell him that he couldn't love me...not truly...he couldn't because he obviously didn't know my "word", my character, my stated morals. He turned it COMPLETELY around. That was many years ago.

He went from a 9 to a 0, when I've always been a zero.

Well, he showed a little the other day and I was surprised that it felt good...lol. It made me wonder if I'd been doing a disservice to him by not having that feeling ever. I've always stood on, "If he can do better, let him" or "If he's going to there's not a dang thing I can do to stop it."

For whatever reasons, I've never felt or displayed jealousy.

I find it a very bad thing from my childhood and watching parents for one, but for another I find it a highly inaccurate emotion. For instance, the times my hubby was jealous of others around me or me, there was no reason, but the times he could've had cause (with his friend hitting on me even), he didn't get it...lol.

It never, ever dawned on me that a little could be a "feel-good" since I've only experienced the bad kind, and never felt it myself. I guess that little bit he displayed felt like a compliment of sorts...like he was acknowledging others would want me and that doesn't set well with him cause he does.

Thanks, bee!
