 Jealousy is possessive love . A matured, confidant and rational man who respects and trusts you would not exhibit jealousies unless he is being provoked and unsure of your love.
Men can get jealous too but they have a higher level of tolerances than women.They can show jealousies when they are insecure or mentally abusive.
Everyone has their limits and boundaries and it is up to you to find out there they are.

 Is there any reason why he Should be jealous?If there's no reason for him to be, then it's great. He's secure and he trusts you.If there's Genuine reason why he would be jealous (playing games not included- they don't help any genuine relationship!), and he doen't react, then he doesn't care.

It depends on what the situation is. If you're hanging all over some guy (which I hope you're not) either intentionally or unintentionally, I could see him being jealous. If it's someone coming on to you and he trusts you, then it's good if he doens't get jealous because that means he trusts you. I think it's okay for a person to get jealous sometimes when it's necessary, but most of the time there's no reason for it especially if they trust their significant other. And he could be slightly jealous at times, but he hides it. I know I have hidden my jealousy before.

 Ah, that's a good thing. He's at one end of te spectrum there, the good end, and you are free. Imagine if you were at the other end and he said you could not do anything not even see your friends in fear he'd think you would meet another guy. Some idiots even phisically hurt their partner because if this. You are lucky to have such a great guy.
But don't take that as a weakness or an easy way to start lookiing else where I'm guessing if you ever cheat or start playing mind games on him, you'll lose him forever.
Have fun.

 Do you think he is reacting inappropriately in some situations? Like, he's being indifferent when he should show some possessiveness? Do you want him to be jealous? Is there perhaps an hidden meaning to his lack of jealousy, other than trust in you? Your answers to these questions are what matters, not what anyone else thinks about jealousy.

 Hi there,
Why should you? I think that stronger emphasizes his trust and commitment to you.

 It is a good thing. Jealousy can destroy a relationship or a marriage. Jealousy deosn't mean they love you, it usually means they have self-esteem issues. But, it you fool around on your guy and he gets angry then you have lost his trust and possibly his love.

Now if he would not even get jealous if you were cheating on him then I would wonder if he likes you at all for more than just sex. People who don't get jealous about their partner talking to members of the opposite sex or looking at members of the opposite sex are just probably secure with themselves and trust their partner.

It can be both really good and really bad but I would say in most cases its a very good thing. A man that doesnt get jealous has many things going on emotionally that are both a credit to his own self confidence and his trust in you and your relationship. I am a man that very rarely got jealous in a nearly 10 year relationship. Why? Because I had total trust in the woman i loved and i knew that our relationship was extremely strong. I was also confident in the way i treated her and showed her how much i really loved her! Consider yourself lucky to have a man that isnt the jealous type, jealousy often ruins a relationship. Just know that him not being jealous is a testament to the strength of your relationship and how much faith he has in you!
