Do you know of a case where feelings such as envy and jealousy were culprits of a matter gone too far?

Asked by raven860 (2179points) March 10th, 2011

Like cause person A was envious of person B they hurt person B deliberately.

Or if person B was in a time of need; person A refused to offer help.

We just had that kind of problem. A brother was dropping his clothes off to another brother and expecting him to wash his clothes and have them ready when he came to pick them up. Well the second brother told the first if you leave your clothes here again I will throw them away. The second brother went for the weekend and when he came back the first brother had left his clothes so to his word he threw them in a dumpster. When the first brother found out about it he went over and beat up the second brother and took his CD’s. Do you think the second brother should press charges and have his brother arrested. We found out that he can.

My late husband was extremely jealous and constantly accused me of having affairs with any man I happened to look at for longer than a nanosecond. He beat me up several times due to his irrational jealousy. When people call jealousy ‘the green-eyed monster” they have it pretty on-target. It rarely ever gets better but just intensifies.

People have driven themselves insane being jealous of me, spending years of their life being unhappy with how their own lives are. They always thought that whatever they were jealous of in my life came to me because I was lucky – they never believed me that I worked for everything I have, am and will be.

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. I have in my live seen many examples of this. One such incident I remember made the news. A woman in a town in this region saw her ex b/f in the car with another woman. Without knowing, but suspecting, that the other woman in her ex b/f’s car was his new flame. She followed them and when he parked at a near by eatery the woman gunned her car and t-boned his car. I believe the car was hit with such force it was thrown into a light pole on the passenger side and the impact killed the woman passenger.
