Also, though, Dr. Harley says that jealousy is often a part of someone's personality. He says that even though Joyce is very attractive, he just never was jealous. It's not a part of who he is as a person. On the other hand, even with all the EPs, Joyce is jealous of Dr. Harley. She will tell him if something bothers her regarding OS interaction, and he just fixes it.

IOW the answer would depend partly on whether the person has ever been jealous before. If so, and they are not in the current relationship, then that could be a sign of a lack of romantic love.

My wife is smoking hot. I've only gotten jealous once in our 14 years together. And I can't remember really getting jealous with my ex wife or any ex girlfriends. I'm just notaa jealous person.

I've never been jealous before the relationship I am currently in. I've always thought I was not a remotely jealous person and that was a handicap which made me blind to the A.
However I get jealous for silly reasons now. Like Joyce, I feel like covering up my boyfriend's eyes when there's nudity in a film! I don't know why now, maybe I feel more allowed to be jealous since finding MB or maybe my lovebank balance is higher. What has surprised me about jealousy is that it isn't at all unpleasant. It's just a reflex and when it's low level the other person takes it as a compliment or finds it funny.
What would you do if you were not afraid?
