The jealous basis of jealousy is the fear of separation and the fear of loss. Hence in every jealousy there is a need for possession and management.
The beginnings of jealousy are in a relationship between brothers and sisters, and especially against a newly born little rival in the struggle for a mother’s love. In adults, jealousy is most often expressed in a partner relationship. In this case, it refers to a lover who is suspected of being unfaithful and a rival who pretends to be a partner.
