You are faced with a no choice situation.

She is doing something without you and you will just have to deal with it and the jealousy that goes along for the ride.

In my last email to you, I described how to fight jealousy and how difficult it is to do. As a review: you attack each and every jealous thought and feeling that arises and tell it that it is a falsehood and that you are going to ignore it. Hard work and it may take 100's of times before the jealousy gives up.

By the way, your decision to go abroad is an excellent one and should help distract you from your worries. Have a blast!

I wish the best to you!
