Jealous much?
As most of the U.S. has learned this week (and one of our posters pointed out), an incredible case of insane jealousy splashed over websites and even made the cover of People magazine. It was a case of a woman who felt the need to drive 900 miles to confront (and do who knows what else) a woman whom shae considered her romantic rival. Or simply put, they were both interested in the same man. This woman even went as far as to put on a diaper so she wouldn't have to make stops while driving from Texas to Florida. A good move, because I think it will help out her insanity case.
Now, I have heard about being crazy in love (and heard the Beyonce song about it), but I think this is taking it just one step farther. Or two, or three, or maybe 8 million steps farther. And unfortunately, this wasn't the only love triangle making headlines. In another part of the country, a woman alledgedly cut holes in a parachute of her romantic rival, and the victim plummeted to her death.
How does that happen? How does one go so crazy over another human being that they are forced to kill or attack someone else? This has been going on for years — going all the way back to the Amy Fisher story.
I understand heartbreak is horrendous, and avoiding it is the best possible idea. But sometimes, it just doesn't happen like that. Sometimes, the one you love ends up loving someone else. And as much as it hurts and as much as it makes you feel bad as a person, at some point you have to know, you will get over it. Humans are just made that way — you deal with a devastating situation, and then you give yourself time.
Killing or hurting someone isn't going to make that pain go away...mainly, because from what I hear, prison is not fun. But you're still rejected. You're still without the person that made you that way in the first place.
What do you think? Have you ever gone over the edge over someone? Or how do you deal with the pain of being scorned?

I can't remember where I heard this, but I believe studies have been done that compare romantic jealousy to a cocaine high. People who are overcome with jealousy tend to do things out of character, but I think this takes the cake!
I've never met a guy that was so amazing that he was worth killing for. I would do a lot of things for my guy, but putting on a diaper and driving across the country is not one of them!
I definitely agree...I have never been that jealous, or crazed, to spend the rest of my life in Jail...it makes absolutely no sense!!
