Jealousy and/but trust

Quoted from wikipedia:

Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may or may not know that he or she is perceived as a threat.

Well, it seems that most definition of jealousy is refering to a relationship between a man and a woman. However, I believe jealousy involves more than just betweem a man and woman relationship. Anyways, this is not my point of this post.

I wonder if anyone agrees with me that JEALOUSY IS A GOOD THING. Let me elaborate a bit. If you are not jealous over your partner's flings, flies, mosquitos, bees (I wonder what is with all the insects name), god-sistersss (this is so lame, you guys) and etc, that is actually a bad sign. Jealousy in a way indicates that you care and you are in love with your partner. However, obsession and control freak is just a line of difference.

Being said that, jealousy should be under control. The last thing you wanna do is make your partner go out of breathe.

However, if you once feel jealous over a particular girl/boy or girls/boys over your partner, but one day out of the blue you do not feel that anymore (perhaps after seeing them hanging out together, the sms, the phone chats, the facebook-ing, the friendster-ing, the msn-ing etc)... does that mean...


1. You finally trust your partner?


2. You are not bothered by the "rival" anymore


OR

3. You don't have feelings/love your partner anymore?


I guess it is a rather scary thing when one cannot figure out which is the real indication/feeling when that occurs.
