elmsquie Absolutely NOT.Working for money only means to suffer for a job you hates the most. I wont last a day or two anyway even if paid 100x than what I'm getting. It would be useless to recieve such amount of money when you cant even endure the job.

Do you get jealous?

elmsquie I never felt that kind of jealousy. I guess I am contented & I trust with my bf that no feeling of jealousy will ever take over me. Being a mature person, you will come to understand those little stupid things you used to fight over no longer matters.

elmsquie I feel for your GF. I seems to me that she cares for you more than you do for her. You should've talked it over with her before breaking up. Set rules, tell her how you feel with that set up & if she feels otherwise, meet halfway. Only if you both compromise...
