Why is He Never Jealous?

Why is He Never Jealous?
By Mabelle β€’ Jun 1, 2019 β€’ MD

'Black jealousy' is a term that we've all heard before. But what if it's just a mild case of jealousy?

This column from MsCyphrah Newsvine answers a question about the dilemma of a woman whose boyfriend never seems to get jealous. Even when she spends time with some of her male friends, her boyfriend does not seem to mind, making the girl feel as if he does not really love her.

Here's part of what Ms. Cyprah had to say:

…jealousy is not a positive quality in a relationship. It is a very negative one that lies at the heart of control and signals a lack of respect. He is actually treating you with respect, by appreciating your friends. He knows he loves you and that you love him, and does not feel he has to 'prove' anything, but you would like him to prove it by showing how jealous he is of you.

Ms. Cyprah
Way to go, Ms. Cyprah! I thinks that she hit the nail in the head with this advice. Jealousy is a negative emotion which shows** how insecure a person is about herself**. It's a good thing that the boyfriend of the girl who wrote the letter never gets jealous.

I guess her case is the other spectrum of women who have extremely jealous boyfriends that they do not want them to spend any time at all with other members of the male species.

My own piece of advice for that letter sender is: be thankful that you have such an understanding boyfriend. His lack of jealousy just shows how secure he is of himself and how much he trusts you - knowing that you will not betray him while you're spending time with your other male friends.

Shed that insecurity, girl, it's just a waste of your precious time!

    I don't completely agree with this. I think when many people think of jealousy they think only in the extremes. Like constantly thinking your partner is going to cheat or leave you and being paranoid and freaking out when they even speak to another person (of the sex they are into) even if in the most platonic way possible. Or refusing to let them be around certain people even though they give you no reason to doubt them JUST BECAUSE you are worried something 'might' happen. Being controlling because of jealousy is a bad thing. But to say jealousy never happens if you're secure with yourself? I think anyone who says they have never been jealous are either lying or don't understand what jealousy really is. Jealousy IS a feeling plain and simple. It is either negative NOR positive. It's is your REACTION to that feeling of jealousy that is. Still don't get it? Ok lets say you're madly in love with your significant other. You trust them and don't doubt their loyalty to you. But you see a really good looking, charming and obviously funny guy or girl talking to them and really cracking them up. You DON'T doubt your partner but still a small part of you thinks 'What if? Hey maybe this person could be better for them?' But you really love them and you don't want to lose them. You feel uneasy. Now you could let this uneasy feeling go out of hand and become irrational to the point of trying to control your partner. Or you could use that feeling (which is jealousy!) to be the best possible partner you can be. Yes jealousy can be good because it can make us try harder. And after all the effect if they STILL leave you for someone else? Well at least you can say you tried your best. You didn't just watch them talking and laughing with someone else without even bothering to try to improve your relationship. And every relationship could use improving.

    I think that sometimes women like to use jealousy as a weapon to get attention from their partners...if he doesn't give you the quality time you crave then you think making him jealous will do the trick!!!
