Well, okay...
08.21.07 (9:20 am)   [edit]

I used to have a friend, I guess you could call him that? But for some reason, things just fell to the wayside after he started dating some girl. We just stopped talking. Common occurrence, and it was fine with me. We weren't super close friends or anything like that, but we had hung out and MSNed a lot. Fast forward maybe a year and a half? Two years? I found out he married the girl, so I sent him a congratulatory e-mail, and just started off with the usual (and somewhat rhetorical) question of "how are you?"

To my surprise, he replied, but all he said was, "I am fine, thanks!" And that was it. Was there even a point to replying to my email?

*eyes roll* 

Last night, Mr. Nick and I went to the PNE with his friend and her new guy. The PNE's an annual fair we have here with lots of fair food, animal stuff (yay, pig races!), performances, and the "show mart." My favourite part is the Show Mart. I usually buy something. One year, it was the Sweepa. Last night I was almost tempted to buy a mop. I did pick up some of my natural laundry soda though. It's a lot cheaper than buying it in the department store.

And I ate fair food. I felt so sick last night. And I still feel sick. Doing 35 minutes of cardio was tough!!

One thing I haven't admitted too often is my mild jealousy with this friend. I know nothing has or ever will happen, and the two of them are really close. But I guess it's their closeness that gives me those pangs. "Why are they touching?!!?!?" "Does he always tell her he loves her????" Those kind of things, you know.

I think it normal to have feelings of jealousy. As long as it doesn't consume you.

Thankfully, I am not consumed by the jealousy...They just have more history together than I do with him, and they're practically family (with each other).

The other day, Mr. Nick (he's my boyfriend of almost a year...I have made up nicknames for all guys I date. And before I met him, I was dating a lot! It's almost all documented in my numerous blog entries...BWAHAHA) and I went shopping at some farmer's market. And I was buying some pesto from this vendor. The vendor said to me, "he adores you, you know." I wasn't sure if he saw something, or was just saying that because Mr. Nick was buying me (expensive) pesto.

Maybe your "friend" was hoping you'd become more than that until he found someone else. Or maybe his wife is the controlling, jealous type who forced him to cut ties with women acquaintances. Or maybe he's just a jerk.

so finally, did you try to find out 'does he?'

I had one other guy friend who had to drop me from his life after he got married. I was surprised I was even invited to the wedding! I'll just chalk it up to jerkiness. Whatever!

I already know the answers, I think :) One time he called his sister "Hon" by accident. I think the one time he told his friend he loved her was another of those moments (even though I don't doubt he loves this friend like a sister).

Collin says "I love you" to me a lot, but I agree with you... even if he does "love her" as a sister, once he says those words to someone else, it would still create those feelings of jealousy like you described!

Matters of the heart are just so complicated!

The solace I have is that Mr. Nick gets pangs (oops, I first typed that as "pants" BWAHHAA) of jealousy, too!!

I think it also depends on how confident you are of yourself, your feelings, and your relationship.
You have something, believe in it, and don't let jealous feelings rip it apart.

For the most part, I'm not the insanely jealous type :-) Mr. Nick definitely gives me a sense of security!
