romantic jealousy theme
A character is notably desirous of the exclusive affections that another receives from a potential lover.
Notes
In cases of infidelity, for example, it must be clear that resentment is over emotions and not some other concern. For example, a spouse who no longer desires their partner may still be upset about infidelity for the social stigma, or for practical reasons. They are not, then, romantically jealous.
Examples
In blackmirror1x03 "The Entire History of You", Liam was exceedingly jealous of Jonas over the way Jonas' interest in his wife Fion clearly had solicited a positive response in the past, and perhaps still did. He might not even be the father of their daughter Jodie.
