INTRODUCTION

Jealousy is one of the strongest feelings and irrational that a man or a woman can experience. Jealousy is usually connected to a feeling of love, but is often confused with a heightened desire for possession. Jealousy is a feeling that usually begins with the idea that what I have more expensive might, at any moment, can go missed.

The jealous love is activated when there is a voltage determined by dissatisfaction, frustration: empty of self that your partner should fill. In this mode of relationship, you tend to hold greedy partner. There is a need exacerbated and liable to be loved, admired and chosen as the only recipients of the investment of love and sexual partner. The jealousy requires a presence and continuous availability and total, unconditional love regardless of the conduct of the jealous person. The jealous partner, with its claim to exclusive possession of the other (idealized) from which to receive unconditional love and total satisfaction, cannot identify the partner as other but as a mirror" of himself.
