Jealous or Possessive (ePub)

Jealousy and possessiveness in relationships can go both ways. Women are just as capable of unreasonable behavior as men are, and this is true in any type of relationship, whether heterosexual or homosexual. I have known homosexual men and women who have had similar experiences at the hands of jealous or possessive partners, and heterosexual men who have horror stories to tell about their relationships with women.The difference between a woman's experience at the hands of a jealous man and a man's experience with a jealous woman is the physical dynamic of the relationship. Women are naturally weaker than men, and therefore more at risk in a physical confrontation. Of course, there are always exceptions. When physical violence takes place, it is usually the woman that is afraid for her safety, not the man. That said, this book is for anyone who has ever experienced jealousy in a relationship, to any degree. Jealousy or someone being possessive may seem trivial, especially in the early stages of a relationship. It's hard to recognize anything negative when your perception is clouded by new love. Change happens, before either person realizes it. What starts out as a little 'harmless' jealousy can escalate into something ugly… something dangerous. Jealousy is a form of mental abuse, and it is often a precursor to physical violence. This seemingly innocent emotion can destroy what could otherwise be a beautiful and loving relationship. Jealousy eats away the love and trust of a relationship, replacing the healthy parts until nothing remains but the sickness.

The purpose of this book is to help people, not unfairly criticize or attack innocent individuals. Every one of the experiences described here is true.
