RelationshipScenario

My gf has always been a little possessive concerning my relationships with other friends that are female. Played tennis with with a friend this morning and she has gone ballistic. Said that she wants me to cease all contact with said friend or she is gone. She also has numerous friends that are male that I have no issues with... To me this seems hypocritical and I am trying to get my head on straight with this whole thing. I did procrastinated and wait until this morning to tell her I was playing. She seems convinces I was not going to tell her at all. Any advice? Feeling a little pwed at the moment.

so these friendships precede her? no, wait, doesn't matter.....i guess it comes down to two questions:

1) is the friendship worth losing the relationship over?

2) is the relationship worth giving up the friendship for?

i detest jealousy. cuz i've been the jealous person, insecure, demanding, clingy, and friggin codependent as hell!!!! real energy vampire.....sucking life out of everything to feed me poor little ego.......
