Jealousy is hard to explain, my sister is going through a messy divorce in where she just outgrew her husband. She got a new job, went back to school and I suppose just left him behind. Since then, a completely rational and sane man who I looked up to as a child (he took 10 strokes off my golf handicap when I was a kid) has turned into an absolute nutter.
The unfortunate thing is that there are two teenage kids involved, my niece is staying with my fiance and I because he has pissed off to the country in a huff. He was a hard working bloke, but now he is a prick. It hurts me to see a happy marrage of 20 odd years disintegrate into all out war.
My sister is now, within two years of leaving him a physical wreck because he abuses her and calls her at all hours.
She didn't leave for another man, in fact the whole sordid affair has put her off men, but as you said Dr S, jealousy can do terrible things.
Although it seems to be the males of our species that exhibit this emotion the strongest, maybe we are "programmed" to be this way as Slater said, it does not justify acting like a moron. I know that I am very protective of my fiance and I would fight to the death to protect her. However I would never, ever hurt her in any way. Even if, and I hope it never ever happens we decided to amicably part ways.
Most often jealousy is linked with someone you love and we all know how emotional that old love feeling can be.
