Jealousy is meltdown inducing for me. I'm not the only aspie who experiences jealousy, am I? Even the slightest bit causes an extreme reaction.

i don't get jealous, i believe two people belong together or don't , if there is an objective reason for me to feel jealous then there is no trust, if there is no trust there is no relationship , so i end it there and then
what's the point of relationship that doesn't make you feel good
I have been aware of this "test" for many years.Suppose two people do belong together but a silly miscommunication keeps them apart long enough for one of them to get involved with a third person. I don't see that trust need enter into it necessarily. Your post gives the impression that you end things often and early, which is funny on Seinfeld but not so much from a real person being serious.
Whether jealousy is a relationship-ending worthy thing or not depends on how bad it is and how deep into the relationship you are. If you've been married for ten years and experience intense jealousy every day that's indicative of a problem. If you like someone and they're actually seeing other people uncontrolled jealousy may be a problem, but to experience the emotion is simply being human, and even some aspies are subject to this. I guess most people would consider this part of a healthy interest in the other person, and without any jealousy might conclude that you simply don't like them enough for a serious romance. It is a test that I have been unaware of most of my life, and through such miscommunications as this I have failed to get closer to women when we both wanted to get closer but each misread the situation.
I like being in romantic relationships. I hate trying to get there. (edited to add -) Sometimes.
