And I see human jealousy stemming from a similar sense of possession only its the possession of another human. The first marriages where a property exchange, one man's property (daughter) is given into the possession of another man.
It's stupid. In my mind, any person is and should be free to do what they want in this regrd, no matter the kind of relationship they are in. If they don't want anyone else at some particular moment in their life, but the one person they love, then that's up to them. If they want to cheat on them and the other person minds, that's up to them too, they'll just have to face the consequences. If they want to talk it through and reach an understanding with their partner, again, that's their choice. But no one else should tell anyone what they should do romantically or sexually. No one should own anyone else.
