Othello Syndrome: Suffering from Morbid Jealousy in a Relationship

[cupidkisses]

Have you ever been with a jealous type? Or get jealous of someone unrestrainedly?

We can have some problems in our emotional relationships, just like in our social relationships. While solving these problems make our relationships a lot stronger, sometimes they lead our relationships end. And it can even end with violence.

Excessive jealousy takes the relationship to a completely different level. The moderate amount of jealousy in relationship may be good as it makes you feel that the person is afraid of losing you but passing the limits will be bad for the both sides. And even may result with a murder. We call these excessive jealousy as "othello syndrome".

Othello Syndrome is a type of delusional jealousy, marked by suspecting a faithful partner of infidelity, with accompanying jealousy, attempts at monitoring and control, and sometimes violence. The problem is named for Shakespeare’s Othello, who murdered his beautiful wife Desdemona because he believed her unfaithful.

It usually appears on people who have no or little self confidence. There may be also other reasons behind it. So if you or your partner is like that see a therapist before it gets worse!
