Billy vs William

So William now knows I've been talking to Billy again a bit. William's all pissy and miserable. He's so jealous. Not like I'm off to run away with Billy, we've been all over this before. He's just a friend, I don't understand why William doesn't get it. I have to put up with all of his ex's (and there's literally fifty or so in town) so why can't he deal with one of mine?

Is it the fact it's Billy? Would he be as jealous if it was Matt or Ed or anyone else?

I know that someone like Sherri isn't a threat. They split up, each are married to other people now and everyone's calm. Sure, they talk and hang out sometimes, there was a reason they dated for three years. There's also a reason they broke up. So I don't worry about it. Nor did I worry when Chris would come over while they were still married (technically) and William and I were living together.

So why can't I talk to Billy? Not even talk, online chat. AIM. I'm not leaving William for Billy, don't have any intentions of it and never have. There's a reason Billy and I split up as well.

I just don't understand, and I don't want this to progress like the time he caught me chatting with James. That was a nightmare, and completely over the top.

I will *never* stop talking to Billy, I hope William realizes that. For all our sakes.
