A recurring theme in literature and films, romantic jealousy taken to unhealthy extremes results in suffering for both the person who experiences it and the person it is directed at. Furthermore, it often has devastating effects on the longevity of a relationship.
“I wasn’t living any more; something was eating away at me from the inside, and I was convinced that the man I loved was cheating on me, or would cheat on me sooner or later. I knew that he had had a lot of casual flings before he met me. He was a charmer, and a lot of women liked him. All of a sudden, when he went out with his friends I couldn’t sleep at night, and as soon as he got in I would bombard him with questions. When his back was turned, I would go through his pockets or check his phone, convinced that I was going to find conclusive proof that he was cheating. At the same time, I felt guilty because I realised that I was suffocating him and it was driving him crazy. No matter how many times he told me that he loved me, I still couldn’t shake off my fears!” (Isabelle, 43)
This account pretty much says it all. Feelings of abandonment, insecurity and guilt, unfounded fears of losing a loved one, and low self-esteem are all symptoms which reveal profound discontent and which, in naturally jealous people, result in psychological distress that can turn into paranoia and, in extreme cases, lead to outbursts of violence.
In this guide, we will use several accounts to try and understand the underlying mechanisms of this emotion and give you starting points to learn how to manage it better in order to have a healthy relationship.
