When I was younger, I used to think that when a g/f expressed jealousy (over previous girlfriends, being friends with an ex or past sexual activity) it was a good sign that they were really into me.
But, I've met a few women (and dated some of them) that have adverse cheating histories but are also incredibly jealous. I don't try to theorize just for the fun of it, but I think that the jealousy comes from insecurity/low self esteem, which also makes people more vulnerable to cheating (someone paying attention to them, making them feel attractive).
A lot of these girls make it sound as if their cheating is the fault of their b/fs because they are not attentive enough, but in some cases it's the nice guy getting cheated on too.
Anyone have a reaction or thought?
