I appreciate everyone's response here sooooooo much! This has shown me so much!

I'm one of those that don't understand jealously (in a romantic relationship), and have been on the receiving end of the over-the-top, out of control, ugly jealousy. Not understanding it, compounding my dealings with it, I think.

Also, I'm one who catches a woman appreciating my man, and I take it as a compliment.
