Jealousy, I have never really figured out why us humans turn to such a negative, regressive state of mind. I do understand that it is triggered by a “fear of loss” but should it control us and our decisions? :face-icon-small-con
I thought this might be an interesting topic. What sparked my thoughts was a recent experience. Months ago I was invited to attend a week long Revvy trip. I immediately confirmed my attendance since this would be the only affordable way for me to take my sled and ride in BC! I was stoked… The trip was set for the second week of December 2013. Capped at 10 people, 2 trucks and 2 five place trailers. Things seemed to be coming together, and the friend that invited me mentioned it was time to fully commit and pitch in for accommodations. I reiterated my confirmation. A little while later, my friend messaged me and said that some of the guys that were confirmed to go said their wives were not happy that a “girl” was going. My friend assured me that he was fighting for my spot. Long story short, I was voted off the island and don’t get to attend the ride because of jealousy! :redface:
I have one thing to say to those ladies, get your butt out there and ride with your man if you are worried about what happens on the mountain without you! It is healthy in a relationship to have different hobbies and to spend time apart! If you don’t have trust in your relationship, you should not be in it! :face-icon-small-ton
What do you ladies think? Have you ever been turned away from riding with a group because of a jealous girlfriend or wife? There are more and more of us ladies getting into this sport, and some of you are FABULOUS riders! I am secure in who I am, I do not date married men! I JUST WANT TO RIDE! :face-icon-small-coo
I do have plenty of friends who will ride with me, guys and woman, married and single! So even though I am a bit sad that I will miss out on this trip… There will be many more this year to fill that void! :face-icon-small-hap
