Mrs. Josephus, Jealousy is a complex emotion that encompasses feelings ranging from fear of abandonment to rage and humiliation. It is most typically aroused when a person perceives a threat to a valued relationship from a third party. The threat may be real or imagined. Jealousy is distinguished from envy in that jealousy always involves a third party seen as a rival for affection. Envy occurs between two people and is best summed up as “I want what you have.”
