Ghehe, the opposite. To each his own, I guess  . |
Feelings are not always controlled by our rationality. For most, jealousy is a knee-jerk reaction that they may not have rational control over which is born from a desire to protect their interest. If your partner has sex with someone else, that means some of the sex and romance that you would otherwise get is being given to someone else. There is also a chance you will be replaced. The idea that lack of jealousy is a badge of trust implies that jealousy is in complete control of our rationality - which it generally isn't. To me, a lack of jealousy would represent a lack of care and I believe that would generally be the case and closer to the truth.
