My boyfriend seemed very interested to know about my day on Saturday. Why did it take longer than usual to walk your dog, baby? I started telling him about our adventures in detail only to have him stop me with “no, it’s ok, I believe you.” Then I realized he was asking because he was jealous I was meeting with someone else, and once he saw how genuine I was he didn’t need to hear more. His loss that he doesn’t get to know all about the new trail they added at the dog park, which street it exits at, the research I did about he organization behind it afterwards and the volunteering I plan to do. I need to stop confusing jealousy with caring, this has happened in past relationships as well. Today, a friend told me that I need to watch out for repeating past patterns in relationships, unrelated to this incident. Anyway, it’s going to be a really nice dog trail.
