Dude, seriously?

Wendermilliken didn't come here to be attacked by strangers who don't know her.

I hope you read this. Thank you for the time you took to comment here. In fact your comment is so long that I will not quote it.
I understand that you are trying to imagine a typical male's version of what happened to me but your story is completely far away from what I went through. You suggest that I am and did a lot of things that I am not and did not do. I have been in Facebook for over 8 years... and this man to whom I had known for 15 years, was one of my FB friends since ever. I'm not the kind of person who sits in front or next to someone to grab a phone and start looking at it! I think that it's totally disrespectful. I even criticize people who do that, actually. It wasn't my fault if I got a call while we were together. If I answered, he said I wasn't respecting our time together. When I stopped answering them he said I didn't want him to hear what I was going to say! If someone stares at me on the street, it's not my fault and I don't deserve a mad man by my side for that... on the contrary, my brother told him once: You should be proud as you are the one holding her hand. (What a different point of view!)
I'm just here to let the Othello Syndrome known, it's the purspose that drove me to write this post. I kept waiting for things to improve but, on the contrary, I started suffering real violence. By definition, a normal person gets jealous out of real reasons, a mobid jealous creates the reasons in his/her mind, out of no real facts or evidence. Knowing that they are sick and need treatment could save a woman or a man's life as well.

Thank you Dodo. You know, when I was going through that miserable time, one of my best friends Johvanna (not a male friend as it was suggested recently) told me about this syndrome. She had had a partner who suffered from it. We googled it together and saw that my bf fit 10 out of 15 features listed there and also the reasons... strong abandonment feelings as a child. He had lost his mother at the age of 5 and then lived with a step-mother who mistreated him. I'm sorry he had to suffer so much. I really thought we had everything to be happy together. I never imagined he had such behavior.

I think for me I won't get that involved with someone that has jealousy traits.
I don't do jealousy period, and if someone I am with starts to show those signs. I first take the time to find out they why's of it.

If it continues I run very quickly the other way.
I think that is another reason I have two speeds when getting involved in someone.
slow and stop... And I do use it...

"Morbid" tends to scare the hell out of me...

Hi you ok

Google search DOES NOT equal psychiatrist degree.....

unless you have a PHD in the fields, you can neither diagnose nor tell others how to recognize a mental condition....

So unless the above is true, this thread is like all other threads on here, opinions of one person, who generally isn't qualified to give the advice they are giving.

I think I get more not being in a relationship.
All the way around.

Lady W..I totally know this morbid jealousy ...my sister suffered from this..awful..she was sure my 17 year old daughter and her 42 year old boyfriend ..my daughter just got hired and we all worked for the same company..yup..her mental illness costed me everything..my husband , my home , my job..and more..glad you were able to put him behind you...my sister is a lifer ..

..lol..thought they were having an affair ..

Well, I had to learn to pretend to be jealous. I either trust someone or I don't. If I don't then I'm gone. However, I've had a couple women ask me why I didn't care about them. I was confused by such a question but answered that I did. Their response was that I must not care if I don't react to them flirting and talking with other guys and going to lunch with them. I said I trusted them. But, that didn't seem to provide any comfort. I have found that women need their man to be somewhat jealous.

OMG, I'm really sorry to hear that. I see what happened to me was nothing in comparison. I hope some time has passed since then and you are much better now. You know, with my first son I went through Postpartum Depression didn't even knowing it existed so I felt (during those days) like to worst mother in the world! Knowing or not knowing makes a great difference. I didn't know about this syndrome until it touched my life in 2014.

It's not my case, BreakingGood, I was happily married for 21 years and never knew a jealousy scene. Full trust! And my female friends were so envious of my relationship. By the way... you must have a hell of a moisturizing cream... would you mind sharing the brand?

i think that pic is from a PlayStation game... maybe GTA?

Hey you.. wait a minute I am a morbid jealous person... along with kinky..
And I have a few fetishes.... and I like eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the peanut butter on the upper part of the sandwich..
I.know !!!.. crazy)))))

I think you have a good point there ...
Isn't that to do with instincts and also what you see in movies and series I wonder? Showing us men fighting other men over their woman or to save the virtue of their woman, that sort of thing.
Maybe we have an innate thing for (secretly / subconsciously) liking our man to be a little possessive, and thus a mild tendency to be jealous?
As a matter of fact, doesn't the entire man/woman flirting and mating revolve around that? Think caveman dragging woman to cave, think Scarlet O'Hara and Rhett Butler doing a constant push-pull together...
All to do with jealousy, possessiveness, wanting, desiring each other etc.

If you remove that from the equation, what happens to attraction I wonder?
