I was talking to a friend the other day about Jealousy. I told him it is a pointless emotion. Here is why.
I am out on the town with my girlfriend(hypothetically speaking of course). And we run into an old flame of hers. Now this break up was on good terms, so they are still friends. So I expect them to be cordial and friendly around each other. They don't have a reason to not be. Now he starts to flirt with her. Here is were most people would get jealous. But not me. Here is why.
She showed up with me.
She is leaving with me.
I'm the one she says "I love you" to.
I'm the one she is kissing goodnight.
I'm the one she will be making love to.
I'm the one she will be falling asleep next to.
I am the one she will be waking up next to.
If anything, the ex-boyfriend that was flirting with her should be jealous of me.
Your thoughts?
