I just read about this on a thread about jealousy in the S, L, and R forum. Kind of got me thinking. I don't think anyone should be bothered by being jealous. I don't understand why people are always like "what if my girl does this?" or "what if he's doing this?" or all that stuff. I really don't get it. I trust my boyfriend 100%. His best friend (female) has stayed over at his place when she's been in town and I have never worried about it. He's flirted with other girls in his career (to get ahead 
) and it just doesn't bother me. He's with me. He's not sleeping with them. He doesn't really have feelings for them. He's in love with me and not them. And you know what, he doesn't get jealous of things that happen to me either. And I have always been completely faithful.
The thing is, I've never been burned. I've only had one past relationship and he never cheated. He was kind of a jerk and a terrible boyfriend, but I still trusted him because there was never any reason not to. I've never really been "burned" in the past by anyone. At least nothing big. I guess that's why I have this positive outlook. And I trust way too easily
I can see that others would not be able to get past being cheated on or something like that. Or being abandoned.
But you still have to overcome it. You just have to trust your partner. If he or she didn't do anything to you then you have to trust them. Until they prove you can't trust them.
