"Compersion"
The positive emotion felt when witnessing someone else's happiness.
More specifically, this is the feeling garnered by seeing your partner happy completely independently of you and being okay with that.
Many people call compersion the opposite of jealousy. But I believe it's more than that. Compersion is about letting go of your ego. It's about understanding that your partner being happy without you is a good thing and that it doesn't lessen your connection or your love.
In a healthy relationship, seeing your partner happy with other people shouldn't be a threat.
