Pathological Jealousy


Most of the people are jealous or have experienced feeling of jealousy during their lives. I believe a seed of it is in everyone of us and that such feeling is natural - as long as it stays within healthy boundaries and it´s not an excessive jealousy of insecure or mentally ill person. But when does it stop to be just a feeling that stems from uncertainity and low self-confidence and starts to be an illness? There are several possibilities.






  • When person starts to think s/he has exclusive right to own someone, rather than be simply his partner and believes his/her ownership and leadership is the only way how to maintain a successful relationship


  • When the uncertainity and low-self esteem, as well as problems with trust, make the jealous scenes arise repeatedly in every relationship the ill person had

Pathological jealousy is a very serious and very dangerous disorder that often leads to violence, emotional blackmailing, life-threatening situations and not unfrequently to a murder, of which are mostly women victims. Which is natural, when you think about it; guys are usually more capable in breaking up with women that stalk them and make a hell out of their lives. Sadly to women it usually takes too long to wake up and jump out of the lethal train till it´s too late.
