I am extremely madly insanely jealous of your giant king size bed...
What about the other way around? You are the one trying to communicate it to 'her'... It's a very touchy subject and there is a probability that it can come across as accusation, mistrust, or even resentment. No matter how you word it.
Especially if attraction to other people is not an imaginary thing.
True, communication is not easy, but I think for a good relationship to have a chance at longevity, communication has to be built and strengthened.
The problem with not communicating jealousy, is that the jealous person may started doing strange things like, being rude to your family or friends, slamming doors in their face when walking into a store and many things because of jealousy. Of course, I am talking about a very jealous person. But people do strange things to those that they are jealousy about.
When two people get together they must agree, when communicating that nothing is too far out or strong and both have to give each other allot of rope and really try to understand. If I were communicating with someone and they told me they were jealous, I would ask them to explain why and those answers give me the way to dig deeper and reassure the person that jealousy may be normal, but that it's not necessary by giving them reasons. Again, I know it's not easy, but in the end, if the person really cares, then they will make an effort.
One of the reasons for normal jealousy is the fact that many people do not express their love to their BF or spouse enough. If both partners told each other how much they meant to each other their would be less jealousy, less arguments as less communication would be necessary. Then there would also be more love making which also reduces cheating!! Anyway TMHO!
HealthyLiving: Good answers Rube! You have a mature outlook like I would want a man to have. I have written my previous profiles stating, "He can not be jealous. If another man looks at me from across the room, think to yourself, 'Eat your heart out, she's with me'."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... lmao!
It's explicitly stating a requirement for a potential partner to be a jealous type, no?
