I don't know her as well as myself; I know her as part of myself.

I trust Brent completely when it comes to other women. It's the other women that I don't trust! ;)

So, you're afraid they're going to throw themselves all over him and he'll completely ignore it?

I know he wouldn't just ignore them, I'm just not sure he would know how to deal with it. I don't think he's ever had a woman hit on him. We don't get out much and he hardly ever goes out by himself. He's ... sort of socially inept.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that when your right hand starts cheating on you, it's also cheating on her, and then it'll be time for a smack-down. also, people i know who've met you guys, even for just a few moments, have said that they want to find what you two have. i want to find it, too.

I have heard similar things said in the past. Though if you say Morgan is one of the people who said that, I won't believe you. ;)

Not that I don't completely applaud what the two of you have for one another (B/c believe me when I say I'm glad you found the right person for you, for there certainly is only 1 of them), but I think it's also that neither of you is pre-disposed to be jealous people, which is both great and lucky. Some people are wired to feel inadequate and wanting of what others have, so when they have something of their own, they assume everyone else is that way, too. I am not someone wired for jealousy naturally, but due to certain circumstances have found myself feeling a little bit of it in past relationships. I feel pretty lucky that I'm not in one of those relationships now, and I think the biggest part of that is completely honest and open communication. A combination of those things I think is what helps me, well that and a genuine compatibility with someone, which is something you two also share. Being able to have compatible goals makes a HUGE difference in feeling secure with someone from my experience.
