 Re: Thought Jealousy?
I personally think that all people are jealous to some extent or another. Like most things (sexual or otherwise) it's a spectrum of greys rather than being just black or white.
I think almost anyone on the board here would be upset and/or jealous of their partner told them they wanted to go away for a week or two weeks or a month with a playmate and leave them behind. On the other end of the spectrum, I sincerely doubt anyone here would be upset at hearing their wife say that they thought someone was cute. In between those two extremes there are a ton of different intervening points/situations that may or may not trigger a particular person's jealousy.
Each individual's shade of grey (i.e. - their jealousy threshold) is what determines that individuals boundaries and rules. What's important is for couples to understand what their partner's threshhold is and to respect it.
