Robert, do you know who your biological father (or biological
parents) are?
How certain are you that they are indeed your true biological
parents, particularly your father?
Did you observe infidelity between your parents as you were
growing up? Was the question of you being your father's
biological child ever brought up while you were growing up?
I've yet to dig into it, but I've got Sternberg's book on
Love Patterns sitting here, but his idea sounds very reasonable
to me. Perhaps it might explain your attitude towards
jealousy and faithfulness. Perhaps it won't.
