Have you ever thought about how jealous you are? Are you being overly suspicious? Do you not care what your partner does?
Jealousy it has a lot to do with how we perceive ourselves. If we are not satisfied with ourselves; if we experience ourselves as unattractive, unsuccessful and uninteresting, we will be inappropriately more jealous than if we have a good self-image.
If we feel loved, valued and accepted in a relationship, if we are open with each other and trust each other, we will be less jealous than if our partner rejects us emotionally and hides things from us.

Jealousy can also serve as a kind of reminder, because it warns us that our partner is not taken for granted and that he can leave at any time.

Most of the answers under A

Most answers under B
You trust your partner, but sometimes jealousy awakens in your soul, which is more good than bad, because it shows that you still care about your partner. A little jealousy also gives him self-confidence, he feels wanted.
Most answers under C
You are not jealous at all. At first glance, this may seem great, because you are always in a good mood, you do not make scenes and scandals. But such an attitude can also mean that you always follow the line of least resistance. If there is ever a real reason to doubt your partner, you won't believe your eyes, but you will convince yourself that you made it all up.
