How jealous are you?

[Tarifa]

How jealous would you be in one of these 3 situations?

1. You and your partner walk down the street. Your partner says hello to someone from the opposite sex, you haven’t got a clue who it is. They talk about the time passed since they last met. When you ask him/her afterwards, your partner is rather vague.

2. Your girlfriend/boyfriend is a good friend of one of the guys and girls both of you hang out with. They always seem to have longer conversations. Even if you know there’s nothing there, you see that they get along well and are physically close.

3. Your partner says she’s going for dinner with a group of female friends (or a male partner going out with male friends). When they make it home late at night, she/he tells you someone else showed up and they had a great time.

1. Happens often and a chalk it up to my husband being very social and well liked.

2. We have that situation. My only problem with it is that the female friend of ours (over a decade) is single and lonely and her behavior is changing to that of a jealous woman. I don't care for her acting like she's with my husband and I'm the third wheel when we are in social situations. It's also awkward formy husband. We have to dodge around her and hold hands so she doesn't try to squeeze between us. She's on her way out.

3. Same answer as number one.

Thanks for your answer. That's exactly how I feel about it too.

The second situation can be awkward. What's important is mutual trust and respect within a relationship.

[TrueConfection]

I couldn't agree more. Without that mutual respect, resentment tends to grow and trust is lost.

Thank you for the MHO ❤

I am not a jealous person by nature. Never have been. I might be a little envious of some people but not very often.
Usually if something good happens to someone else I am happy for them and not jealous.

1.- Not jealous at all... this has happened before, but they were not vague at all, they knew exactly who they were, lol

2.- Not jealous either... been here too, and we were all close friends at school, mutual friends as well, so it is the more natural thing to me

3.- Not jealous again... this stuff just happens from time to time, and it was never a problem in my experiences

LOL. I'm not jealous at all. My wife and her new side guy recently made it official, so she introduced him to me. Nice enough guy. I surprised them with a trip to Bahamas for New Years to celebrate. So long as she doesn't get pregnant, I'm fine if my wife sees other guys.

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, trust is the name of the game. Jealousy can be a sneaky little gremlin, but it’s all about keeping it under control. In the first situation, a little curiosity is normal, but overthinking can drive you wild, so trust and ask calmly whenever you feel the love vibes dipping. For the second, you’ve gotta keep your cool. Trust is your BFF, and if there’s nothing there, let it be. With the last scenario, trust in your partner’s word about the fun night out. Jealousy is just an emotion, not reality, so don’t let it blow out of proportion. Stay open, keep smiling, and let trust be the guiding light in your love life! 😎🌟

There is nothing in any of those situations that would make me jealous.
