Speaking of Faithful…..

Holy crap, 2 entries in one month? WTF? Well, I had to post this somewhere, and my blog here and on MySpace seemed like a couple of good places. I need to review these once in a while! I just wish I could’ve had these about 5 years ago!
Dependency: Become less dependent on the relationship to determine how you feel about yourself. The more dependent you are on the relationship, the more jealousy you feel in response to a real or perceived threat. Remember, your self-worth is not related to your partner’s desire to spend time with friends.
Self-confidence:
Build your own self-confidence and self-esteem. Feelings of inadequacy lead to more jealousy. Write down 10 positive things you like about yourself. Keep the list close to you during the day and use the list to affirm your self-worth.
Do not compare: Your guy’s friends have qualities and interests that you may not have. That is okay. Do not compare yourself to your man’s friends. He wants to be with you too! You have unique strengths and qualities, and you can never expect to satisfy all of the needs and interests of your partner.
Sign of true love: Many people assume that jealousy is a sign of true love or how much they care about a person. This is wrong. Be sure not to view jealousy as a way to test a relationship.
Communicate: Try to express your concerns and feelings to your partner. Direct communication is the best way to get your concerns or suspicions heard. The two of you probably differ in your relationship rules about leisure time. Your man may feel that in a happy relationship, it is important for each partner to have their own hobbies, interests and friends.
Holy crap! Really?? Thanks for stating the obvious!!

So, I guess I haven’t been very faithful to my own blog! Its October and it’s still freaking hot! Yeah, I know I bitch alot about the weather. But I’m used to October being cold and snow on the mountains! Wait, there aren’t any mountains here……well, at any rate, I wish it would cool down.
Nothing new to report. Going to Flagstaff at the end of the month to watch the Griz take on the Lumerjacks of NAU! WOOOO!! It’ll be nice to get out of town!
There’s a rumour going around that Ron and I might get married in Vegas next year. I guess you will have to wait and see!
