When a group of women helped a friend move we got on the topic of jealousy, his reason of their broken marriage. Everyone had a different spin depending on their morality, spirituality, or lack of.
If you are a person who does not honor your marriage, you most likely will not honor the marriage of anyone. If you are in a mature, monogamous relationship you most likely have higher standards and expect higher standards from the people you chose to associate with.
The jealousy part comes from the third party intruder, who feels entitled to destroy what is unattainable to them for lack of decency. It's not about any person, but winning until they need their next fix from another unsuspecting target.
Our friend wanted moral boundaries respected by not accepting the crumbs on the floor, like when a stray dog poops on your lawn, you don't pet him, you don't know where he's been, and he might bite your face off. Jealous? Hardly! Self respect? Yup!
