person A: I used to be soooooo territorial of my boyfriend (now husband of decades!) when were dating.
person B: I'm like that too_comma_ so I can totally relate. Were you able to talk to him about how you felt?
person A: Yes_comma_ but when we were younger -- he didn't really understand. And truly_comma_ it was more about my own insecurities than about him_comma_ you know? As I grew more into myself_comma_ the jealousy loosened its hold.
person B: I've felt the same way. As I have aged and become more comfortable and secure in my marriage and in myself_comma_ those other insecurities and fears dropped off. Good for you for conquering that challenge!
