Can you be in love with someone, without feeling any jealousy?
This is a controversial question because it may offend someone, especially those in these relationships, but I am genuinely curious and would like to hear a discussion about it.
I’ve never been a very jealous person.. as in, I never go through phones, and it doesn’t bother me when my SO has female friends, if he were to “flirt” with another woman, it would seem relatively harmless and.. it is what it is. My SO doesn’t do that but it’s not cheating/a dealbreaker to me. In every relationship I’ve ever had, the idea of my SO being with another woman sexually has made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I would consider myself a confident person.. so is my SO, and we trust each other and communicate well BUT we still feel jealousy here and there. Nothing toxic, I just figured a little jealousy in a relationship was normal. I’ve considered experimenting sexually when I was single and when I was in a relationship with a man in the past.. who I cared for/loved but I was not in love with him. I guess I just don’t see how you can’t feel any jealousy when you’re actually in love with another person.
I’m not trying to be judgmental, BTW. It’s a genuine question. In the future, maybe this is something I’d consider as it’s always been a fantasy but I want to know from people if they feel truly and deeply in love with their SO, but don’t experience jealousy, and how is that possible?
