Jealousy is considered one of the most negative feelings of a person, it is associated with feelings and fear of the possible loss of a loved one. She is able to destroy family life and cause a break in relations. Jealousy is always due to insecurity, the presence of various complexes in one of the spouses.
The fear of possible adultery is most sensitively experienced by powerful, self-righteous people, for whom the thought that someone has infringed on their interests is intolerable. Such people tend to consider a loved one as their property and deny others the right to show even the slightest interest in them.
Jealousy often occurs in people who are disadvantaged in something. They, as a rule, are not confident in themselves and from this they fear a possible betrayal of a partner. It seems to them that they certainly cannot withstand competition with another chosen one of their soulmate. Jealousy in such people can arise for any, the most insignificant reason. For this, sometimes it is often enough that a stranger glances at the partner accidentally is enough. Jealousy in such people is usually accompanied by a stormy showdown.
Marital jealousy is sometimes associated with the experience of cheating on one of the spouses. He mentally projects his behavior onto the partner and imagines that the spouse may well act in the same way in relation to him.
Pathological jealousy affects the human psyche most destructively. It is the result of a person's personality disorder. A spouse in a state of jealousy constantly suspects, without any reason, a partner of treason and can be dangerous.
Jealousy can be caused both by a well-founded suspicion of adultery, and it can be completely unfounded. It manifests itself in the surveillance of the actions of the spouse, control over his correspondence, phone calls in order to find evidence of treason. A typical expression of marital jealousy is also the hysterical behavior of one of the spouses, family scandals, accompanied by various kinds of threats (for example, leaving the family).
Jealousy can also be experienced quietly, but from this it can be no less destructive for the human psyche. In order for jealousy not to overshadow marital relations, it is necessary to trust your spouse, openly and without emotion to discuss emerging problems with him.
