jealousy (n.) - The reaction to a perceived threat--real or imagined--to a valued relationship or to its quality.
You may have heard about this a day or two ago:
USHER'S wife, Tameka Foster, isn't going to let any woman make moves on her man - even if that's her job.
Foster was "domineering" and displayed her trademark "Tameka wrath" during a video shoot for Usher's new song, "Love in the Club," the weekend of March 15 in LA.
Our on-set source said Foster was upset when she found out stunning singer/songwriter Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest in the video.
"Tameka is very insecure," our source said. "Even in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly - she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn't let Keri have her hairdresser there - she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras."
Foster also took a dislike to Usher's longtime choreographer, Jamaica, and banned her from the set. When Usher and Foster were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week, "They barely said one word to each other," we're told.
The two have had a choppy past. After they got engaged, Usher fired his mom, Jonetta Patton, as his manager and also axed his publicists. "Tameka was the one and only one to call the shots," spies said. [...]

Now, we all know that Tameka is batshit crazy, but we can all relate with her jealousy bone. We've all been jealous at one time or another in a relationship and allowed ourselves to act upon that jealousy by doing some things that we may (in my case) or may not be proud of.
I've permanently "misplaced" phones.
Been overly analytical and suspicious
From a window, I witnessed my neighbor roll up to her estranged husband's car and smash out his car windows with a hammer.
The boyfriend of a friend put hickeys ALL OVER her neck and face the night before we girls were to go out to the Bayou Classic football game.
People I've known have checked mileage on their mate's cars, inspect body parts and alienate their family members by accusing them of doing all kinds of unscrupulous things with their mate.
It isn't right, but it happens. Right?
