Ok, let me say just off the bat, it's more than just worrywart tendancies but it's much much easier to bundle it all into the basket marked 'worrywart tendancies'.
One portion of the worrywart tendancies basket would be dedicated to my 'territorial streak'. The one which sees someone from Adam's past at a restaurant and makes me feel like I have to make it perfectly clear that he's mine, all mine, no-one's going to touch him COS HE'S MINE DAMMIT. Even if it all happened two years before I even knew of Adam's existence. The territorial streak also involves me getting highly defensive and monosyllabic when Adam brings up the topic of finding a housemate. One of his workmates needed a housemate. She asked Adam what he thought. SHE asked ADAM what he thought(Incidentally, I spoke to her this arvo, very nice person). This after the territorial episode in the restaurant the night before. It didn't matter that Adam hasn't so much as looked at another girl since he's been with me. Come hell or high water, he wasn't going to be living with anyone of the opposite sex (unless it was yours truly of course in which case I would very happily oblige). Is this level of territorialness justified?
The other portion of the worrywart tendancies basket is just that: pure worrywart. It's the worrywart in me that tells Adam to message me when he has to drive home in the wee hours of the morning just to let me know that he isn't wrapped around a tree à la g.Lo on the road to Dwellingup. It's also the worrywart in means that gets insanely concerned when his liver starts playing up, when's he's sleep deprived from the shithouse hours that he works and when he doesn't take care of himself. And I know that I can worry too much but it's that level of worry that verges on being self-sacrificial, the kind where you want to do anything you can just to protect them or prevent them from things that will have a bad outcome.
Gah, that was more catharsis than anything remotely substansial or readable. Humble apologies, I will write something in the near future that doesn't make it seem as though my life revolves around my other half. My mind is a little consumed right now.
