    Struggling with jealousy?

    Damn, sorry, yes. I mean sex. It does pay to be more precise with a less familiar audience :) As to your questions, that's exactly what I'm trying to identify. The way I see it, the jealousy that I feel could boil down to any one or (or much more likely a nice mélange of) the following...

    Need some advice.

    That all having been said then, it sounds like you need to develop a both sense of safety/trust and an understanding of space in the relationship. Neither is terribly easy to develop - especially, in my experience, in the first ~6 months of the relationship - however the development of this...
