Everybody who is capable of having an emotional attachment to others has the capacity to become jealous. Since people need people, this would be a normal emotion. People who say they aren't the jealous type are no different in principle from a person who hardly ever loses their temper - if the situation is right, then the appropriate emotional response is only natural. The *extent* of the response can vary as much as the 'length of the fuse', of course.
Although not being jealous is, these days, often stated as if it's a character *strength*, it's actually an indication of a certain level of emotional distance; a highly passionate lover, who gives all of his/herself to a relationship, is more likely to become jealous. It simply isn't psychologically believeable for a person to invest great emotional intensity into a relationship and then be off-hand and relaxed about an affair! So, a person who *is* like that probably has intimacy issues. Note: being jealous is not the same as being *possessive*; the latter is borne out of insecurity; a person can be jealous without being insecure.

I think you would call it jealousy. I just don't cope well with "changes" being made in my relationships that I don't know about. My husband knows what I mean!
