um all right here we go last one here i am a jealous girlfriend um all right
hey bill i'm a
25 year old woman with some abandonment slash daddy issues i know this is who i
am but not
necessarily the person i want to be so of course i'm in therapy to work this
stuff out well i got
to commend you for knowing all that about yourself at the young age of 25 you're
way ahead of the
game um unfortunately my boyfriend is still sometimes subjected to my jealous
nature for
example the other day he invited me to come visit him at work and when i showed
up i met his new
co-worker who is very pretty pretty uh i should mention that i myself am
beautiful but even if i
wasn't i know my boyfriend loves me to the end of the earth and doesn't want to
be with anybody else
that being said i could still feel my italian blood boil when i met this girl i
spent the rest of the
day begging myself not to let my emotions get the best of me and say something
to my boyfriend my
self-control lasted until the next morning that's pretty good when i finally
brought it up a short
little spat ensued but about 15 minutes later we were both hugging it and
apologizing well this seems
you know this don't beat yourself up after this you know what your problem is
and you're working your
way through it you're able to control it to the next morning and even when it
finally leaked out
15 minutes later you you know you were apologizing he apologized you know i don't
know why he apologized
you fucking started it but you know that's how it works usually that's how the
math is done
that's great though so anyways he said i told him that i understood he has no
control over how
attractive his co-workers are i also know that it's normal to flirt a little
bit outside of a
relationship i myself innocently flirt with others from time to time so i'm
being super hypocritical
by getting all butthurt at the thought of him doing it i also acknowledge that
every time i get jealous
like this it probably makes him feel more and more suffocated which will
probably hurt our relationship
in the long term uh he handled this interaction like a champ forgave me for
getting jealous said it
was no big deal and made a joke about me being on my period you guys sound like
you got a cool
relationship to me um i know he's being genuine when he says it's okay but i
can't help but put
myself in his shoes i which is hey that's something that's really difficult for
people to do that's
called empathy it's a tough thing for most human beings to do putting
themselves in somebody else's
shoes uh if i had a partner who acted the way i did i would probably lose a
little respect for them
with every incident and no i would start feeling resentful and suffocated my
question is do you
have any advice about damage controls or anything i can do to get a little self-respect
respect back
and relieve any guilt he might have about being attracted to other people
furthermore do you have
any advice on how i can calm the fuck down whenever i start overthinking
getting jealous thanks for your
insightful comedy p.s go leafs oh another person from toronto working on the
weekend like usual um
i think a lot of this is in your own head
i think if you had a little hissy fit and then 15 minutes you apologized and
you you're owning up to
your behavior i don't think i think that he knows that this is something that
you're working on
so as long as you own up to it i don't think he loses respect for you i mean i'm
sitting there
thinking like all the stuff i was reading about you i was thinking this woman's
a keeper
you know nobody's perfect and you actually are looking at yourself you're
examining yourself you're in
therapy you fuck up you apologize you feel bad you put yourself in the other
person's shoes you can't
ask any more of that from a person so just keep working on yourself and i would
actually not be so hard on
yourself unless you don't apologize which you did and if it's over 15 minutes
later then you know
i don't know if my wife flipped out and then 15 minutes later apologizes to me
it's fucking over
it's squashed it's like when you fight and then you're silent for the whole
fucking day and then you get a
half-ass apology and then they do it 10 minutes later again that's when
resentment comes in so i think i
think you're in the clear here you're fine keep working on yourself you're way
ahead of the game
you're only 25 years old you're a kid so uh you're gonna be fine that that's
what i say all right
okay all right everybody that's the podcast um
i don't want to tell you i'm just looking around my fucking nice clean office
and i'm loving life
right now i hope you guys are enjoying your life all right owning up to what
the fuck you're doing
having empathy for other people not working for banks or oil companies helping
out people less
fortunate let's try to be better people man um all right go fuck yourselves i'll
talk to you
i'll check in on you on thursday
