unpossessive

Lets others roam

Unpossessive describes someone who doesn't feel or express ownership over others, especially in relationships.

An unpossessive partner doesn't demand exclusive attention or feel threatened by their loved one's other connections: She was remarkably unpossessive about his friendships with other women.

The word suggests emotional security and lack of jealousy.
