It shows a lack of trust. It's a personality flaw I don't like. If you get jealous, either you have issues that need to be addressed in yourself or your relationship, or you're just in the wrong relationship. It has no place in a healthy relationship.

@SW-User So basically what you're saying is that you should be able to hang out with other people all of the time and leave your partner to fend for themselves and just be there whenever you decide to come home, not giving much thought to their wants or needs, maybe even flirt all you want...and if they don't like it, they get a little jealous, that THEY are the one with the problem and THAT is what will destroy your relationship?

@indyjoe Lol. Not at all. You're putting words in my mouth my friend. What you're stating is a complete inconsideration for both your partner and the relationship. If a person does that, they aren't committed to the relationship in the first place.
