Yes, this is possible and in fact happens. It is, however, quite rare, as it is requires a degree and kind of opened consciousness and self-awareness that few people possess. See the works of David Deida.

If you are talking about romantic love, no, absolutely not. I have known people that lived in (famous) communes in the 60's--oh the stories they can tell-- as well as people who have thought they had free love in recent years--I think they are now living with the more jealous significant others they found while believing they had the perfect love. It has nothing to do with the year or cultural change, a non-jealous romantic relationship is not evolutionarily advantageous to human survival because it does not promote the survival of offspring in humans (in the time humans have evolved, the support of both parents and extended family was needed for children to survive, and free love divides resources). Keep in mind that all significant human evolution occurred before the invention of the condom or the pill--pregnancy was ALWAYS a possibility in sexual relations. You can't change human evolution just because it seems like fun or less responsibility.

The type of Love your talking about sounds alot like what people in a commune might experience. Kinda like your allowed to love more than one person type thing. For me, whats ideal is a relationship that I can communicate well, I am free to do as I choose and express what I choose. Only thing is, Id like the man Im with to be a little possesive with me. I want him to care about whom I hang with and etc. But in my type of relationship think jelousy will not play a role because there is great communication, and there fore a great bond and the other person will know how much they are respected in the relationship. So jelousy will not come in to question. But a little jelousy is healthy. I think the ideal type of love will be different depending on the individual.

Possessiveness and jealousy are from insecurity and bad self-esteem.
You need great communication,always 100% honest with each-other.Trust always,unless you know different for sure.Lying comes back to bite you in the a55.
This I know after 47yrs of mistakes.Now, I have a Love I should of had when I was 20 yrs old,Oh well,better late then never.

I don't think it's completely possible, ever. People are governed by thier emotions mostly. Being HUMAN means being all those things we sometimes loathe. Only robots can react/not react the way you suppose. I wouldn't want it any other way.

It's possible but only if you meet someone who has been reduced to nothing at least once. At that point, one begins to take everything to heart and nothing for granted. I wish you well in your search and if you find it's true, please let me know where you find someone else who shares the same views.

i dont think so. you might be able to make it look that way on the outside, but deep down i think your always going to have those feelings. its whether you can control them or not is the thing.
