Wait, is the wife jealous? Or the man.
In any case, one source of jealousy can be one's own unfaithfulness (or the wish to be unfaithful). Someone, who can't believe in the fealty of others and is jealous for no reason is usually him or herself not capable of jealousy and is pojecting his or her own failings onto the partner. And the egotism that others mentioned also fits in. Someone, who is jealous out of egotism will, out of the same egotism, also be willing to break promises and hurt others if it serves his or her whims.
Or in other words: someone, who is incapable of trusting others (without reason) is probably him- or herself not to be trusted.
