The not caring if they check out other guys part has always come kind of naturally- I'm sure as hell not going to stop checking out other women, and yet I also know I wouldn't actually cheat with any of them, it's just fun to look. I guess I've always just assumed whoever I dated felt the same way.
The time I can think of when I really did feel raging jealousy was when I thought a previous girlfriend of mine WAS cheating on me, needless to say we broke up very soon after that.
Well, I have to admit, with the above, I actually thought I was going to walk in on that girl with some other guy once- I'm the type, who, if I found out after the fact that someone cheated on me, would just drop them and ignore them, as I'm not a crazy possessive type at all (more like a crazy "Leave me alone more often!" type). It's a long story, but that night, when I really thought I was about to walk in on them together, I'm fairly certain I would have just about killed the guy. I was younger and angrier (20 maybe) then.
