Jealous?

During a relationship, a lot of people tend to be jealous, but oddly I've been with my boyfriend for a while, and I've never felt jealous when he hung around other girls when I wasn't there. Though he is always jealous knowing that I always hang out with his guy friends when he is somewhere or busy. Is it bad not being jealous?

I am a very jealous girl and like you when me and bf are on for like few months, I really dont get jealous. When we reach years of our relationship I really jealous a lot and also him. It's because the feeling is deep and we love each so much. For me if I don't get jealous anymore it only means that I don't love him. That's only works for me, I don't know for others.

That's great! I wish my boyfriend understood that, but he always feels like I don't care for because I'm not jealous. I guess views always vary on that. I am glad your relationship is going well though ^-^.

Yes, we all have different point of view. I think its not important if your getting jealous or not, what's important is your showing him the right love and care. We have petty argued on that jealous thing but the good thing is that at the end of the day we hug and make up.

Too much of not being jealuos is bad and too much of getting jealous is also bad enough.It's not bad to be not jealos but you need to be jealos so that the relationship will grow strong but you must consider things that you should be jealous of co'z it can ruin or lost relationship.

Easier said than done I must say. I can try to be jealous, but I never feel it.

Odd to say, but we are opposite. My boyfriend then, now my husband is like you, Who hardly gets jealous. I always get mad, when doesnt even seem to care. But whenever I ask him why he is not jealous, he answers me with "because I trust you" and I know you wouldn't betray me with somebody else.. Maybe you just haven't found any good reason to be jealous at all, after all you might have known even before that he does hang out with other girls as well with guys. So I believe it's not bad that you're not that jealous type of person.. You'll someday meet the person who'll boil your heart to jealousy against your man. but I also believe that lackof jealousy may mean your not afraid to lose him, so find out in your heart which is the reason..Are you just confident and trusting or you simply don't care?

i dont think it's bad. you're just secure of your bf's love. you trust him indeed. that's a sign of maturity. but we could not a void the fact that maybe your bf feels that you dont love him because you're not jealous.

I am happy to know you feel I am mature because after knowing he doesn't trust me on that, I was not sure what to think anymore. Also my friends feel I am only dating him for fun and nothing more.

thats a bit strange that you didnt feel any jealous. if i had a bf and he hung out with many girls i would sure be jealous and wouldnt like that. anyway maybe you just trusted him so much and in his love^^ but jealous also means you care so much for that person that you are afraid to lose her. i dont know about your feelings but i think that everyone that really loves feel jealous sometimes. not always jealous but sometimes^^ bcs love is also feeling afraid to lose that person^^ thats why people are jealous and insecure we might think the guy can find a better girl than us^^

I suppose that we are all different. In a previous relationship wmy g/f was always jealous of me spending any time with women. She would flirt with other guys, and that was supposedly OK.

Id Bad for not being jealous? NO... though it depends on the situation.Jealousy is common feelings, though in the bible it says, jealous is not love. But, how can you express your feelings when you get angry when you find it our something wrong with your BF/GF? that is what you call " human instinct". But then, jealous must be in the right reason at all though sometimes not when you feel something wrong if you are not around with your GF/BF.
