personally, i don't think they mind. they know mortals die eventually. all the gods, even Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, know that the demigods are important, and the mortals will die eventually, and they can't help it. They know that it'll come and go. It's more of a fling, not much of a relationship. But her having a relationship with an immortal god obviously makes him jealous, since he won't die (and it's not like hephaestus is going to go fight ares to try and make him fade)
