and of course i speak of JEALOUSY kiddies. let's take a look at what makes this emotion so hard to live with - but at the same time - can't live without (in the relationship perspective)Jealousy can show up in your life about anything: other people's things, success, beauty, money, athletic prowess, relationship, kids, or their education. Jealousy can be a small twinge in your stomach that nags at you every now and then or it can be an all-encompassing feeling that over-shadows everything in your relationship and destroys your life. In its extreme, it can lead to separation, divorce and certainly a breakup. Don't get scared but it's the leading cause of spousal murder worldwide.
This emotion can put even the strongest people in a nose dive into depression and insanity. In a relationship: Their mail is torn open, their computers hacked, their activities monitored, their motives interrogated, their integrity impugned, their worth denigrated, their friends banished. The worst kind of feeling to witness engulf a human being.
What's happeneing in the brain though? Neuroscientists have found that jealous emotions excite the amygdala and hypothalamus, brain structures linked with both sexual and aggressive behavior. Jealousy also stimulates the posterior superior temporal sulcus, which activates when an individual tries to discern the intentions of others or perceives that social norms are being violated. Even merely imagining our partner in the arms of a rival causes substantial physiological distress – a heart that races, electrodermal activity skyrocketing with a profusion of sweat, and muscular tension.
STATISTICS:
-93% of American men and 82% of women said they had been the recipient of someone else’s attentions while in a romantic relationship.
-87% of men and 88% of women believed that, they had been the victim of love thieves.
(Many of these thieves were successful; 53% of men and 41% of women reported having had a romantic partner lured away by a rival.)
