THE CONTEMPORARY COUPLE: JEALOUSY, TRUST AND VIRTUAL LIFE
THE CONTEMPORARY COUPLE: JEALOUSY, TRUST AND VIRTUAL LIFE

Summary/Abstract: This highlighted sociological research analyzes the way in which current couples manifest felony as a cause of separations from the couple. I also want to discuss stalking, but also about how a person develops from the jealousy of a child to that of an adult. Jealousy is an interesting phenomenon, seen from two angles (normal/abnormal), but the behaviors through which jealousy is manifested are many: it can start from simple ideas, accusations, words, up to a revenge plan, acts of aggression (physical/verbal), crimes, obsessive following of the partner (former or current – stalking) in the worst case. There are not few cases when many couples broke up because of jealousy. Jealousy can or cannot be the reason for a breakup?" We can find various answers to this question depending on each couple and how they live with each other. The problems arise when, due to an exaggeration of the use of a social network, one of the partners begins to create a "virtual life", to be captured by the attention of another partner met on the Internet. The sociological side can be identified by the simple fact that such problems lead to a social disorganization, a permanent fear of the pursued person, to carry out their daily activities. The deviant side of this phenomenon, if we analyze stalking on social networks, for example, can be as dangerous as that based on physical pursuit.
