your comments were well thought out, i'm going to take minor exception to "because jealousy is considered shameful in certain societies, no one feels it" to "because jealousy is considered shameful in certain societies, no one " needs to feel it. As a cultural construct, you would "feel it" if you were raised to think you should feel it, like a revulsion to pork for example. I agree with almost everything you said, but what i got from the book was more a view that many of the ridiculous reactions we have to relationship problems are more cultural than real.
