I'm of the opinion that if she finds someone better than me, she should pursue it with as much forthrightness and zest as she can. I've never felt that she should feel "bound" to me, as if I were the end-all man-of-men. And I'm confident enough to know that either (a) she's disillusioned by the percieved grandeur of this other person and will return soon or (b) she truly has found a better match for herself, and I am glad for her.
For me to be jealous of her other interests would be tantamount to feeling like she was my "possession." I realize others feel differently, but I cannot personally accept jealousy in that form as productive or necessary.
