Yes, I agree as well, @ejoslin. The jealous trait is pretty much a 90% tense buff. The other day my jealous Sim slapped her husband for no reason that I could see. They were by themselves in the kitchen and the other members of the household were occupied in different rooms, and had been for a few minutes at least. Maybe it was from the Mischief interactions, but that is usually laughed off, or has a slight effect on the Friendship bar. This caused a hit to the Romance bar.
No one IRL is tense that much without having a mental health issue. Is that how they intended it? I ended up doing the same thing as a previous poster, and giving her the Carefree reward so she could get promoted. Her days off were on opposite days from her husband, and she was even more tense because of that. (Come to think of it, it was after I gave her the reward, that she slapped him.) I like all the suggestions that have been made to make it more fun to play.
