   Your sweetheart calls you by another’s name. His eyes linger too long on your best friend. He talks with excitement about a girl at work. And the fire catches. Jealousy—that sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation—can overtake your mind and threaten your very core as you contemplate your rival.
   The green-eyed monster, as Shakespeare called it, can camp in your head at any time during a relationship: when you are madly in love, when you are snugly【C1】______, even when you dislike your partner. Neither【C2】______ is routinely more jealous—although women are more willing to work to win back a lover, while men tend to【C3】______ their money and status and are more likely to walk out to protect their self-esteem or save face.
   Why do we feel jealous? Therapists often regard the demon as a scar of childhood【C4】______ or a symptom of a psychological problem. And it’s true that people who feel inadequate, insecure, or【C5】______dependent tend to be more jealous than others. But the "monster" actually evolved for positive reasons.

At the same time, it has pushed us to abandon philanderers—and many a futile match—in favor of more stable and rewarding partnerships. Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is【C7】______ jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that【C8】______ a relationship.
   But jealousy can go seriously【C9】______. Some people, for no apparent reason, become【C10】______ by it, undermining their self-esteem, and even driving their partner into another’s arms—the very outcome they had feared. In the worst cases, they become violent.
【C6】
