We often view a jealous person as a bad tempered, angry, and bully type of personality that wants to know everything that is going on with a loved one. Most people do have a jealous streak, but not to the extent of the more difficult individuals. When someone is in a love relationship, there can be moments of insecurity and fear of losing a partner.
Some individuals are so enmeshed in their partner's life, that the thought of their partner leaving them for another is truly intolerable. Oftentimes, they want to surround their partner with their "protection" and keep their partner all to themselves. The emotion of jealousy is so powerful that it can affect the health of the jealous person, both physically and mentally.
People assume that they know what love is, but actually they do not truly know. So the lack of understanding about love generates jealousy. It seems that with the word love, some people believe that it is a special type of domination or possessiveness that engulfs the other person.
How does a person become so jealous? Most psychologists agree that the root of it is insecurity, as the person fears being abandoned and unloved. The self-esteem is at an all time low as the emotion of jealousy seems addictive and hard to overcome.
What is important here is that jealousy has the power to destroy relationships to the point the person victimized by the troubled partner will not want to have anything to do with their partner. Being the victim of someone so distressed can make someone very anxious and frightened, especially if they have seen some explosive outbursts. It is not a pleasant situation to live through, as real love is positive and affirming, not negative and disturbing.
Your partner might have seen you with another person and noticed sparks between the both of you, so he or she may be right for being possessive and upset with you. Be honest and let them know if you need to split up for awhile. Don't be cruel and procrastinate as it will only make the situation worse with your partner, tell them in a public place you want to break it off in case you are worried about a violent reaction.
Keep in mind if you must end the relationship, do it if you must---but be sure your partner knows that you mean it this time. If you intend to make it final, tell your lover or partner that you cannot promise to be friends. Some people will grasp at the faintest hope to salvage the relationship, so don't give any false hope.
If you want to save the relationship, set up a time with a good counselor that works with couples with possessiveness and insecurity issues. Jealousy with its many facets like stalking, controlling, abusiveness, and accusations does not make a healthy relationship. Remember that love takes work and discipline, so if both partners agree to work together on the issues that are undermining the relationship there may be hope. - 15437
