“Jealousy is an ugly color”
That gem comes to you courtesy of my IT person. We chat on the regular. He loaned me the True Blood series and that was what I read most of my vacation. I’m on book 4 now and apparently book 5 is where is gets really good. Shower scene anyone? I’m team Alcide right now.
Anywho, back to the topic. I’m a jealous b. I can admit it. It’s a problem I fully realize but haven’t found a solution for. It’s a work in progress, just like me. So, the past week, I went to rodeo a couple times with Cowboy. There’s obviously plenty of walking, since this is a Texas sized event. Often, hubs would walk 5-15 feet behind me. Since losing all this weight, I want him walking right next to me. Well even before losing weight I wanted that. I want him walking next to me, proud that I’m his hot wife. A couple times, during the walking, I’d look back annoyed because he wasn’t right next to me. Cowboy is not a jealous person normally. Lately, there have been a couple sparks, but that never happened while at rodeo last week. Of course, when the sparks happened, I’m like a kid with a shiny new toy. Oh, did I find a new button to press? We went to the movies last week, (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and I wore my gym clothes, a sleeveless tank and baggy gym shorts. I walked ahead of him like normal and he was behind me. There was a guy in front of the entrance that apparently was staring at me. I didn’t notice. When hubs walked by him, he asked the guy, uh, can I help you? I smiled. Because again, hubs is not normally a jealous person.
We went to rodeo last night, and our Lake Jackson friends were unable to join us. They never called me so I was a bit annoyed, but still understanding with that. We had extra tickets so I invited my favorite co-worker, Tigre. Tigre is hilarious and has been to our home for our Halloween party last year. He’s pretty much my work husband. Anywho, Tigre drove me to rodeo since hubs was running late, or behind. I was hungry/didn’t want to wait. When hubs finally arrived, I was sitting next to work husband eating a delicious fajita chicken skewer. I didn’t notice Cowboy’s face, but Tigre did and he was like, hubs is jealous, ma’am. We walked towards the stadium and hubs was right by my side, even put his hand on the small of my back. He never did that last week. While sitting down at rodeo, Tigre and I were talking, mostly work stuff, or eye candy comments. Hubs was on the other side of me and couldn’t hear what we were talking about and it bothered him. Cowboy complained about having to get up early today (show usually isn’t over until 10 and with traffic, we’ll get home around 11. I told him, Tigre can take me home (I really just meant back to work where my car was). Hubs response was, he can take you home, to his home, and then I’m locking the door, permanently. Wow! Another button pressed. He’s never said something like that. We stayed almost to the end, it was a packed house for Miranda Lambert, but we all walked out before the end of the show to avoid the heavy traffic. We got home, hubs watched The Voice, and I read more True Blood. I went to bed around midnight and hubs came in after, and I was falling asleep.
I was almost dead to the world, which I think is the title of the True Blood book I’m on now, when hubs started kissing me. Then there was shake the bed time, for a solid hour. Hubs has always had amazing stamina, but damn. I was pretty impressed with his performance last night. I had to recover after that. He joked after, are you going to work out tomorrow? I told him, I don’t know my legs are sore now. My hips, my arm, legs were still sore this morning. My arm? I know. Wow! After being ignored all weekend, well I felt ignored, last night made up for it.
So yes, maybe jealousy is an ugly color, but it looks so good on me.

hahaha! I dunno, I think a little bit of jealousy can be healthy. As long as the intent of one’s jealousy is to make the other person feel desired and appreciated, it’s a good thing. If the intent or the end result of the jealousy is to stifle, hurt, isolate or modify a person, then it’s unhealthy.
sounds like he had some buttons pushed alright. Most men have a jealous streak, just have to know exactly how to hit it.
Glad you guys had fun. Btw, you are looking great with your weight loss!
@gwenstyles - I guess I got too busy yesterday. I was working on a response and accidently closed the window. Psh! I forgot to include another detail to my story. On the way out, I had to stop at the restroom, the guys waited and of course there was a line for the ladies. When I found the guys, they were facing each other, having what looked like a pretty intimate conversation. I didn’t know what they were discussing. We walked back to our cars separately, Cowboy took me back to mine. As soon as I got home, Cowboy made a comment like I was too buddy buddy with Tigre. My response was that I’m buddy buddy with everyone. Basking in my afterglow, I asked Cowboy, what were you/Tigre talking about while I was in the restroom? He told me work stuff. Of course I didn’t buy that for a $1 so I called Tigre in the morning. The first thing Tigre said was, You’re welcome. You owe me. LOL. I asked him if he said anything to Cowboy and he said no, but that he knew the sidebar conversations were getting to Cowboy. Honestly, I did like the reaction, and the response. I don’t want to change Cowboy, but I do want those same reactions/responses/attention, regardless of the audience.
@Blue_ButterflyBaby - Thank you!
