An
illusionary state of mind held by one (or both if they're
stupid) party of a
relationship. A relationship that is viewed by their friends and family as "
shakey", "
bad",
etc.
Retorts often used by these people are:
- It's okay if s/he flirts with other people, I trust her/him.
- S/he told me that was the only time they ever went behind my back.
- I can't think of some more witty ones..sorry
which is
always followed by: I am
completely secure.
