Shoe, a good part of your jealousy is because she is your first. It's something that goes with being a guy. We're no so much about being with only one for our entire lives, but damn be if our first goes and does it with someone esle. You'll just have to get over that. The sooner the better.
The sooner you learn this guy truism, the better: he who cares the least, wins. All you need to see to prove that is that horrible Real World episode where a girl on the show has sex, and then has to let her boyfriend know on the phone, whereupon he has a hissy girly fit.
Whenever you feel the jealousy rising, write it off. Let her know you don't really care, but not in a bad, wimpering way.
This is how it works in the poppinjay household.....
Ms. Poppinjay: "I'm going to have lunch with Mark, our successful manager who is ten years younger than you and very fit."
Me: "Great! Can you pick up a case of Octoberfest? I'm going to have a few guys over to watch the game, or we could go to Hooters to watch it."
Ms. Poppinjay: (comes back with beer)
He. Who. Cares. The. Least. Wins.
