Jealousy?

[Scarlett]

When I was 18 and at uni I had a special male friend who would come and visit me in my room- we'd talk philosophy through the night. I was very flattered by this and hoped it might become more than platonic over time. Then one day my friend Gill stopped by as my male friend was visiting. I sat and watched her flirt and giggle and preen and flatter him. The next day they were going out, I lost him as a friend and that was that. 30 years on I have a special male friend who I do everything with- hope it might become something more; and my lodger is now doing the same thing- giggling, flirting, being tactile. I want to punch her. He, of course, loves the attention and probably fancies her a lot more than he does me. I am not proud of the jealousy I feel. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Good luck, and I hope that it turns out the way you want it to.

[ummmm]

Some people come out with daft things. How is telling someone how you feel lowering yourself or lacking self respect? Someone has to make the first move.

Ummmm I think that was in reference to going to bed with a few less clothes on?!

[ummmm]

Oh...okay, I'm sorry then :-)

I wouldn't do that either.
