Jealousy: Love's Destroyer

Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer, it talks about how someone’s jealousy can either ruin or help a relationship. Jealousy is a person’s way, whether it is a guy or girl, of subconsciously saying her or she feels threatened. 

 

The feelings that usually cause jealousy are: fear, abandonment, loss, sorrow, anger, betrayal, envy, and humiliation. But do not be confused, jealousy is not the same as envy, even though people do interchange them for each other. 

 

Jealousy has to deal with threats of sexual or romantic infidelity or the loss of a partner to another person, whereas, envy is more of a physical emotion as to a girl being resentful to her because of what she has. Envy is the cousin to jealousy. The emotion called jealousy also has something to do with being insecure. 

 

The more insecure a person is, the greater their jealousy. But, “In small doses it is an expression of caring. It’s a way to test whether it’s safe to invest more emotion.” The threat of losing it (meaning a relationship) is a test of how much you value it.
