#ive felt romantic jealousy only once and it was solely because I was already feeling so insecure and upset and therefore defensive

Hello! Stupid question that my brain has been thinking about- Do people who suffer from ASPD/ NPD feel jealousy in a romantic relationship? If yes, is it different from the one of a neurotypical? Sorry if the question seems impertinent, anyway thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

no worries anon this was phrased well!

thats honestly a completely individual thing that will depend on that persons other factors like any other comorbid disorders, their environment, the specifics of their abuse, their individual feelings ect

while personality disorders will affect all areas of someones life and so for some ppl their jealousy will be influenced by their pd, aspd/npd doesnt inherently have anything to do with jealousy or cause someone to be overly jealous the way something like bpd does

personally Im not jealous to a fault when it comes to romantic relationships. ive been cheated on in every monogamous relationship Ive had cause I just never saw an issue when my partners got close to other people

I'm poly now and ive just never needed to be the Only person someone loves. as long as theyre loving me the way I want I have zero issues with them also liking others

for me I feel like my aspd actually contributes to my lack of jealousy because other peoples emotions and needs are a lot for me sometimes and so its nice when my partners have other ppl they can go to for those needs cause it takes the pressure off me
