Was Jack right to be jealous? What is she thinking???

I have been in Jack's shoes a million times and I wonder if he should be jealous or not. I think they make a nice couple and they love each other, but their behaviour (especially hers) get in the way big time.
She seems to be idiotic to me: she thinks she has a clear conscience, so she can do whatever. Nothing "happens" so she can do to Mathiew's etc.
I simpatize with her as she is very naive and it seems that she doesn't realize what pisses a guy off. But she constantly does it over and over.
So is Jack right to be jealous or suspicious?
What else do you think he could he do?
Tell her to act like a grownup?
Tell her to put herself in his shoes to see if she likes it?

Jack didn't really get too jealous until he got hold of her phone and the French/English dictionary. Let's face it. If your partner was getting suggestive/slutty messages from ex's you'd probably be a little pissed too. Their "bust-up" was caused not so much by jealousy, but Marion creating that huge scene in the café with her ex (hilarious IMO).

What is she thinking???

She explains herself in that monologue in the bedroom at the end. She'd never cheated on Jack, but had trouble herself in committing, saying that she found it hard to keep going through the troughs of a relationship preferring to take off first, through fear of being dumped.🐭

I think Jack was right to be jealous, and I agree, he was not exactly Othello.
She was on the wrong all the time.
She "never cheated" doesn't really mean shit, if she's creating every opportunity for that to happen, but she just doesn't have the guts to go all the way with her misguided impulses.
