Get the conversation mug.A feeling of joy when a loved one invests in and takes pleasure from another romantic or sexual relationship.
Commentary: Compersion can be thought of as the opposite of "jealousy;" it is a positive emotional reaction to a loved one's other relationship. The term was coined by the Kerista Commune. It differs from candaulism in that compersion does not specifically refer to joy regarding the sexual activity of one's partner, but refers instead to joy at the relationship with another romantic and/or sexual partner. It is analogous to the feeling of joy a parent feels when their children marry or that best friends feel for each other when they are happy in a romantic relationship.

Dashboard Confessional is a wondrous band that has excellent lyrics, many, many fans, awesome live shows, a very hot Chris Carrabba and causes many 'haters' to hate them because of the smart lyrics that can not be found in the Limp Bizkit songs they dearly love. And because they cant get any.
Me:Dashboard Confessional is the best ever!
Random Hater:They suck, just like you!
Me:Yea I bet you dont get any!
