I agree that you should trust your partner, and he should trust you. A tiny bit of jealousy is not a bad thing in itself. Personally, when my husband shows just the smallest bit of "you're mine, remember!", just by maybe touching my back lightly at a party when I speak to another man, it makes me feel good. It makes me feel that I belong.
And of course, friendship. My husband and I were friends way before we became lovers. In the friendship there was an inherent element of trust, and that has carried us through 28 eighty years of married life.
Wonderful comment!
