Jealousy is also one of the components of the relationship between a man and a woman. In some cases, it goes beyond the limits of what is permitted and turns into psychological violence.
In such cases, experts talk about pathological jealousy, when obsessive thoughts destroy relationships and ruin lives.
Experts have talked about the signs of pathological jealousy, as well as whether it is possible to get rid of it.
Signs of unhealthy jealousy
Usually in such cases one partner suspects the other of constant cheating and turns life into a living hell.
At the same time, both become exhausted: the first, because he constantly suspects and proves infidelity, the second – because he has to justify himself for something he did not do.
The reason could be an unanswered phone call or a delayed answer, any changes – from clothing style to daily routine, and so on.
The jealous person himself will be sure that his suspicions are justified, and total control is necessary.
Is it possible to avoid problems?
People over 40 are prone to pathological jealousy, especially when the relationship is aggravated by alcohol and sexual life.
As for the possibility of getting rid of the problem, there is no way without treatment.
Moreover, experts say that pathological jealousy is quite difficult to treat, and all because the jealous person denies having such a diagnosis.
But more often than not, such unions fall apart before they even get to a specialist.
