Thank you for this powerful message for your readers. Jealousy and envy create unnecessary stress as it is an unpleasant emotion. As we all feel these natural emotions, my solution was to recognize it, accept it, and turn it to admiration as I explained in an article https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/how-to-replace-envy-with-admiration-a7c2307a9507

I believe the caring reader who left a comment in your previous story might have thought that your love was infatuation which usually does not last long. You explained it well by giving examples.

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience with insightful life lessons and congratulations on building a meaningful relationship with your girl friend. I wish you both the best.
