I´d call a man/woman who is not jealous at all is ignorant in a relationship.

 

Lack of trust causes jealousy, but when there´s jealousy, it does not mean that it´s because of lack of trust because there´s one more thing which is something essential (in my opinion) in a relationship that leads to jealousy as well: possessiveness

 

 Looks like both me and my husband are both ignorant then............ and somehow we have managed to be married for 32 years without being jealous...............

 I was thinking the same about me and my husband...although we haven´t been married for 32 years (congrats, by the way) we have managed dating and 4 years of marriage without any sign of jealousy....I guess I am happy to be blissfully ignorant about jealousy!

 Let me be ignorant then, instead of - in my eyes - unnecessary and silly being jealous.

Suspicion creates jealousy don´t you think?  Why would you be jealous of something that you are not aware of?

 

Not necessarily.

A trusting and loving partner would normally be jealous of any uninvited intruder into his/her love´s privacy. Suspion of one´s own partner´s integrity need not follow, if mutual trust is there.

 alameda, just because people don´t naturally feel jealousy doesn´t mean that they don´t have any emotions at all.  If this happened to me, I would be hurt and angry.....not jealous. What would be the point of being jealous after finding out that your significant other has already betrayed you.  For me, the relationship would be over.  Much of my energy would be spent on healing......not jealousy.

 See Elisabeth...you ARE jealous! You may choose to not define it that way, but the reality of the situation is, you do not want to share the special affection of your beloved´s affection with anyone else.

 

I think what we have is a different understanding of the semantics involved with the word "jealousy".  You do not want your relationship threatened with the loss or diversion of your beloved to another, you do not want to loose the love you have.

 

Being jealous does not mean you become obsessed and insane, that is something else again. In the "West" being jealous is considered uncool.

 

I am jealous and not ashamed in the least about it.  I would not try to keep the affections of my beloved by force, that is sure to suffocate the love.

Elizabeth, repeat after me:

 

we are jealous, we are jealous, we are jealous.................... well if you chant a mantra long enough you believe it? {#lang_emotions_satisfied_nod}
