Among the many concepts of jealousy, one should highlight: “Jealousy is a negative human emotion that is fueled by egoism, the desire for “undivided possession” of a partner.
It is often expressed in excessive suspicion and distrust of the actions of the other half, in long and sometimes painful thoughts about the loyalty, devotion and love of the partner."
It is also worth noting that jealousy is a strong and vivid negative emotion that can push a person to many thoughtless actions.
Every couple faces jealousy in their relationship. But for what reasons?
Low self-esteem
One of the classic reasons why jealousy arises in a couple is low female self-esteem.
Such a woman will constantly compare herself with others by many criteria: beauty, intelligence, financial capabilities, availability of necessary business connections, etc. Often the results of comparisons will be in favor of the rival (imaginary or obvious).
As a result, a woman with low self-esteem will suffer silently, cry and complain to her partner in a pitiful tone about her dissatisfaction.
Inflated self-esteem
The opposite situation. Unlike ladies with low self-esteem, such women will not suffer from their own "imperfections".
They would rather be mortally offended by their lover or by the woman who “dared to attract the attention of my man.”
After all, a lady with high self-esteem will perceive even a man’s attempt to show politeness to another representative of the fair sex as betrayal.
The situation can then develop as in most TV series: extreme psychological pressure, bullying, set-ups and damage to reputation – this is for the rival who “has the audacity to remain in sight and challenge.”
These actions will continue until the "unlucky homewrecker" disappears from the jealous woman's field of vision. But the man can get away with a few scandals. The outcome will depend on what kind of relationship the couple has and, sadly, who depends on whom financially.
Material dependence
It is sad, but true, that many modern women try to find a partner who would fully provide for them, while the lady herself would not work.
Therefore, if there is such an “imbalance” in a couple, then a man’s interest in another lady will be perceived as an attempt to take away “what was acquired through backbreaking labor.”
After this, the jealous woman will do everything in her power: from a peaceful conversation with her rival so that the latter disappears from the man's "horizon", to the complete physical elimination of the other woman. The thought of the adequacy of the actions taken in such cases rarely comes.
Betrayal or injustice
This is also a fairly common phenomenon today. Most often, when a woman enters into a relationship with a man, she puts a lot of psychological and physical effort into building and strengthening the "family foundation".
Therefore, when a lady notices that her beloved and dear man is looking elsewhere or is not against “going for a walk to the left”, she perceives this as injustice and betrayal.
Accordingly, after the period of “finding the true reasons for a man’s behavior” has passed, a woman will strictly outline personal boundaries and control the man more strictly.
Fear of loneliness
A harmful fear that many women have is the fear of loneliness.
Many modern ladies are ready to be with a man and on any terms, just not to be alone. They do not have their own goals, aspirations and hobbies.
Therefore, when a suspicion arises that her chosen one is starting to “look and go to the left,” this pushes her to extremes: from spying on her partner to daily scandals.
