If Celeborn took offense at everyone who gave Galadriel a second look, he'd spend his whole long elvish life in one boxing match after another. He's too smart for that. Admirers come and go, but Galadriel stays, true to her oath and to her love. Does Galadriel show any sign of wandering? No. She and Celeborn share a serene acceptance and companionship that demonstrates confidence and trust.
Galadriel may be the greatest living of the Noldor and Celeborn 'just' a Sindar. But Celeborn has been around long enough to be quite respectable. He's older than Elrond, for instance. He's seen three ages. If he is not as far-sighted as Galadriel, still, he is no slouch and no fool. It would not surprise me if his inner strength were known to Galadriel alone.
