Romantic jealousy: Causes, symptoms, cures

I found myself sitting all curled up in the bushes following every movement seen through the curtains in her lit-up window. I knew her boyfriend was there, and the knowledge caused me an excruciating pain. It was a cold winter night, and once in a while there was a drizzle. I said to myself, "I know I am a sane, welladjusted, responsible adult. What in the world is happening to me? Have I totally lost my mind?" Yet I continued sitting in those bushes for hours. I didn't leave until the light in the window was gone. A force more powerful than myself held me hypnotized to the light and to her. I never felt so close to madness.
