Compersion is defined as taking joy in the joy of others. It is the opposite of envy, which is characterized by feelings of spite towards the joy of others. In the context of relationships it is the healthy alternative to jealousy.
Love is a joyous emotion. If a friend or somebody we care about falls in love, we'd be happy for them. We would share with them their joy, and wish them the best of luck, and sincerely hope it will work out for the best for them. We would take inspiration from their smiles and enthusiasm...
Isn't it odd that when people claim to be in love they would express intention of compersion, and tell their partners that their own happiness is elevated when their partner is happy, yet if their partner fell in love they would deny those feelings of compersion and indulge jealousy instead?!
Isn't it odd that some people can share the joy of love with friends and acquaintances, but not their significant others?!

No it's not lol
If you come to think about it, that's not something to laugh about. It is actually quite sad... To be stripped of humanity and love to the point of thinking that treating one's partner with hate and spite as something normal rather than odd!

Why would you ask your partner to stay away? It's easy to tell people to piss off and go away if you don't truly love them... But if you actually love your partner, do you honestly think that is a healthy attitude?
Well obviously my definition of love is different from yours! :)
Okay then, so what's you definition of love? Feel free to use as many or as few words as you feel necessary.
My own definition is: "To think that the company of a given person is pleasant and joyous experience." - It is a very broad definition, but that's love in it's most general sense (IMO).
Another definition that I once heard and found to be quite useful was: "To see goodness and virtue in others!"
