We've always had a pretty open conversation about our feelings. Sometimes that's bad but most times that's good. I've been more open for sure.

I did ask her about the texts to an old friend who was male. It was going on quite a bit and it seemed innocent enough. I wanted to tell her that because of the situation that we are in, my insecurities with our relationship, that if she could tone it back.

She agreed and even apologized that it bothered me. I told her that the only reason was because of the combination of it being a male and it happening now.

After talking more, she said at first she was upset but because of our new communication skills, she thought about it and did see it from my side as being hurtful.

We talked more this morning about it and I explained that it wasn't the idea of facebook or texting but that it was a male. She agreed and apologized.

What could have been a drop down drag out battle in the past was a calm discussion and an understanding on both sides.

She said that she wasn't trying to hide anything from me and as a matter of fact, was telling me all that was going on. I'm glad we have the openness but still...

am I being too controlling?
