My spouse doesn't react at all when I get home late

Suppose one spouse in a married couple goes out to dinner with coworkers and comes home several hours later than planned. The other just asks, “Did you have a good time?” and then drops the subject; they don’t wonder where their spouse was or who they saw. That kind of ease could be a sign of trust, but it could also come across as indifference. How would you interpret this difference without expecting jealousy?

It doesn’t show anything on its own. You have to look at the overall attitude.

When they get home, do they spend time together, or does everyone go back to doing their own thing? I think that’s where the real distinction lies. Not reacting to a late return could be a sign of trust; but not asking how the day went and never including them in shared plans is another matter. It’s hard to read an entire relationship from a single behavior.

So is the person really looking to be the subject of jealousy, or do they just want to feel that their spouse is curious about them? Those aren’t the same. You can ask to spend more time together or talk about how the day went without asking, “Where were you, and who were you with?”

@tamamda, I think it’s important to distinguish between those things. Rather than being restricted, showing interest in each other’s lives throughout the day and sometimes prioritizing shared plans seem to say more.

Exactly. Some people mistake showing jealousy for love, while others see not getting involved at all as a sign of trust. Look at the attention they give each other at home and the routines they build together; you can’t judge by the reaction to a single evening.
