Jealousy Jealousy

Babe…

Mmmmm?

In hindsight I think I know why some people were jealous of us…

Yeah?

Well, I think some female friends were definitely like, “he proposed?! To HER?! She’s engaged… before ME?!” It was an egoic competition. They couldn’t fucking believe it!!!

It just rattled their whole sense of reality.

I knowwwwwwwwww!!! 🀣

U know which “friends” might’ve felt that way?!

(Smirking, looking at her so lovingly and with such tenderness in his eyes, thinking whether to get it all out in this moment or… give her a big hug and some sloppy kisses…)

But I don’t think it’s all their fault. Especially looking back with adult eyes. We were adults but such new ones. Even those friends, they probably wouldn’t feel that way anymore…

I am so… relieved… you’re not on speaking terms with some of them…

Did we ever fight about those friendships? Did u ever once say “I’m not sure about that friend” and I got all defensive because I didn’t believe you at the time?

Yeah…

Oh…

U don’t remember?

It sounds like something that would’ve happened but I don’t remember exactly…

They were like a toxic thorn on my side, and I felt their toxicity in your friendship but I didn’t know how else to tell you, I didn’t know how else to handle it at the time…

Sigh…

Well…

Now I’m starting to connect all the dots…

U thought only boys were placing bets?

Lolllllll… so they gambled on our relationship too? They had financial stakes in whether or not we succeeded and they meddled in themselves to get their money’s worth…

(Hmph)…

I had a feeling the betting was starting up again… in 2025…

Yeap…

They’re placing their bets. Again.

There’s no other entertainment.

They don’t actually want to care about the rest of the world economy or politics…

Mmmhmmm… (not surprised πŸ˜’)

They’ve probably got an excel spreadsheet. Which month in 2025, “when will these two OFFICIALLY get back together?” and then another column “NEVER”

Lol…….. 😏

What are the odds, huh?

Who’s placed their bets on April? They’ve lost money.

Who’s placed their bets on May? June? July? August? “Ooh… it’s gotta be August! He wouldn’t let her turn another birthday as a single woman!”

And the ones who bet “Never” — THEY FUCKIN WISH IT WAS NEVER!!!

Lol…

Too many skeletons in their closets, they don’t want us to get together because they don’t want you to write a fuckin song about them!!!

I’m not the one who needs to sign an NDA when we’re together, YOU ARE!!!

🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 ROFLMAO!!!

THEY NEED THAT FUCKIN ASSURANCE FROM YOU THAT YOU’LL NEVER WRITE A FUCKIN SONG ABOUT THEM NO MATTER WHAT YOU LEARN WHEN WE’RE TOGETHER!!!

BECAUSE THERE SURE AS HELL IS A WHOLE FUCKIN LOAD OF SHIT THAT I KNOW THAT I’LL NEVER WRITE ON THE FUCKIN BLOG BUT I WILL FUCKIN TELL YOU IN PERSON!!!!!!!

🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 lolololol… okay okay. I’LL SIGN IT! I’ll sign the fuckin NDA!!!!!!

You’re joking… 😏

Listen. My darling.

I’m older and wiser.

I can’t promise I won’t write a song… but I can promise the song will not be obvious…

De-identified song lyrics.

Yes.

Yeah…

(Raising eyebrows)… is that enough? Can we go back to making love?

Lol… for now… I can’t promise I won’t bring it up again…

Uhuh…

I wonder if some people bet “first half of 2025, second half of 2025, 2026, 2027…”

Oh yeah. All those odds would’ve been written up. They have so much fun gossiping about us like racehorses and placing their bets.

Hmph… lol…

The funny thing is, I don’t give a fuck about them.

I’m not spending my days thinking, “oh I wonder if they’re gonna get divorced one day! Let me bet with my husband! When do u think they’ll get divorced?!”

When the kids turn 18.

Lol… that’s such a clichΓ©!

It’s an easy bet πŸ˜πŸ’•
