Compersion is the ability to feel joy for a partner's happiness with someone else, contrasting sharply with the more common emotions of jealousy and envy.

Chris adds that feelings of security in attachment play a crucial role in mediating these emotions, suggesting that a healthy relationship can allow for genuine happiness in a partner's experiences outside of the primary bond.In this clip
