these are people who want to have their cake and eat it to, so to speak

complacency is the first sign of a problem, when you're just indifferent to everything your lover, boyfriend, whatever does, it shows them you might have a reason (possibly another person) acting as a justifier so as not to invest emotion. people aren't psychos because they get jealous, they're jealous because they're psychos. But this is not the important issue here - you make it seem like you just kind of bored them, if I'm being honest

misinterpreting a lack of jealousy as not caring is not the same as actual lack of caring. but ok

any guy worth his salt would respect the fact that you're not the jealous type. sounds like he's inexperienced and insecure and doesn't realize how annoying and destructive irrational emotions like jealousy is.

i dated insecure guys who got jealous easily and expected me to be jealous of them too. it was exhausting and i hated it. it was always a power struggle and there was constant drama and arguments. you dodged a bullet in my opinion, op.
