Some say if your partner doesn't "get bent out of shape" if someone else shows interest in them then that means they are not interested in the person they're with or they have a side relationship with someone else to even care.
Others say jealousy is a bad thing and that it has no bearing on whether or not that person is interested the relationship or their faithfulness.
So which one is it? Which one is correct? Should jealousy be something "normal" in a relationship to show you still care and interested in the person you're with or is that shouldn't that shouldn't happen in a relationship?? Should that be a cause for alarm?
If someone wrote a thread about this already, I do apologize. It has been a while since I've written in here. Thanks for understanding!!

How do you prevent someone from showing interest?...... It WILL happen and your partner WILL get attention and all you can do is trust that they don't respond to it with the other said person that has shown the interest
On the whole if honest I've not really got the time for jealousy as it's just not for me and if by being loving, attentive and affectionate is NOT showing that you love and cherish them then I don't know what is?
Personally I think it's quite sad for people that require a 3rd party to validate and confirm THEIR interest and feelings in THEIR partner
IDK, I think it depends on how much and how aggressive someone is. A simple appreciative glance is fine, but some dude straight out macking isn't going to work in my world. I'm not a jealous guy for the most part, but we all have our limits.

IMO and that of my DH, jealousy is a juvenile, self defeating and useless emotion. Both of us have had the experience of having others hit on us, and we just laugh about it. I still tease him about three separate instances where a woman hit on him right in front of me. We both thought it was highly amusing at the time, and I still do.
Actual jealousy is unattractive, boring and offputting. If he really wants to go off with someone else, my being jealous won't stop him, so what's the point?
The only reason I would have to get bent out of shape at the idea of someone else being in to my wife is if my wife herself accepted and pursued it.
That said, most people project a hell of a lot on the subject of jealousy. its rarely a rational or logical discussion when the j word gets thrown around
