i used to be sooooo territorial with my boyfriend now husband of many years when we were dating. thankfully, i outgrew that as i grew more into myself.
i have felt the same way. as i have aged and become more comfortable and secure in my marriage and in myself, those other insecurities and fears dropped off. good for you for conquering that challenge!
yes, but when we were younger he did not really understand. and truly, it was more about my own insecurities than about him, you know? as i grew more into myself, the jealousy loosened its hold.
