I trust my wife (otherwise wouldn't be married to her still) and as such don't get jealous often. But I make a point of letting her know if I catch someone checking her out or something. I also joke with her when she finds a celebrity or someone famous attractive and tell her we can arrange a "hall pass" if that guy shows up the same night Selma Hayek shows up wanting to take me home!
On the flip side, my wife can at times be overly jealous and catty, and I've had to tell her it makes me feel less trusted. What really confuses me at times is that she seems to get "catty" with the women I see as safe... the ones that might joke and flirt but wouldn't go there out of respect for both of us. The ones I think might go there seem to be off her radar.
I understand that I'm an absolute stud of a man and any woman would find me desirable, but she still needs to keep it under control! :laugh:
