fantastic post caprio !!!!!!!
Obviously, a low self esteem plays a big part in many episodes of jealousy. But too much is done to assign blame on the person who feels the jealousy to excuse the self indulgent actions of the perpetrating partner.
The healthy truth lies somewhere in between. In a good relationship, a person is willing to allow the partner the freedom to interact with others in a friendly but non-compromising manner. The other partner, by the same token, might have social interactions with all sorts of people, but would never flirt or abuse the partner's trust.
Like Caprio said, and much better than I, not all jealousy is unfounded, and in some cases where it is warranted, it's even a healthy demonstration of self preservation. No one with a really good self concept allows themselves to be slighted by a straying partner.
All the details must be taken into consideration in each particular case before a judgement call is made, whether in favor or against a person's jealous reation.
