According to Wikipedia: Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to an existing connection.
So This is the emotion I am feeling at the moment. My cousin whom I love dearly just came back from a 5 day trip and met and had the greatest time of her life with a man she met a month ago. Don't get me wrong, I am excited for her but I cannot help the fact that I am feeling a bit jealous. I was once in her shoes with the man that I love who also happens to be a PTSD sufferer. She always tells me to get over him and blah blah blah. So tonight I gave her a scenario...I said "So say things stay this way between you two for 6 months and all of a sudden he freaks out and pushes you away emotionally (mind you her guy is ex military also)...do you give up or do you fight for him?" She responds " I would fight for him if I already have such strong feelings for him already", I proceeded to tell her that the way she feels for this guy she met is the way my sufferer and I felt all the time with each other and it shatters every time he has a trigger and to not tell me to just let him go as if he meant nothing to me. So now she understands why I love him...maybe. But I am happy for her I just miss my guy more than words can express. :(
