Jealousy is a typical human emotion that serves an evolutionary purpose. However, it can get to an unhealthy level that could prove detrimental to a relationship. As this story shows, such cases could lead to potentially irreparable consequences. 

A woman had grown insecure about her husband’s late wife, whom she saw as perfect and well-loved. Her bitterness got the best of her one day, and she ended up throwing out and deleting all the old photos of the deceased spouse. 

Her husband didn’t find out until two years later, which caused much misery and distrust in their relationship. She has now turned to the internet to open up and find answers to fix her potentially damaged marriage.

Small doses of jealousy can be beneficial for a romantic relationship

According to experts, a healthy amount of jealousy should be minuscule. In an interview with CNN, biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher explained that these small jolts can “wake you up” and make you appreciate your partner more. 

“When you’re reminded that your mate is attractive and that you’re lucky, it can stimulate you to be nicer [and] friendlier.” 

However, there is a caveat. You can’t let jealousy linger without addressing it. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, relationship counselor and sex therapist Ammanda Major explained that the situation can become unhealthy if a person chooses jealousy to express the issues at hand. 

Major also differentiated envy from jealousy, which is more destructive to a relationship. A classic example is preventing a partner from seeing their friends or even family. According to Major, this is when things can turn abusive. 

People must allow their partners to go through the grieving process

It may have been years, but the wounds of his wife’s death must still be fresh for the husband. In this case, his current spouse should allow him to grieve. 

Clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten (a.k.a. Dr. Psych Mom) wrote a column for her website when a reader asked about competing with a partner’s dead wife. Among her explanations, she stressed the importance of letting the grieving process unfold because preventing it may spell more significant trouble. 

“Most couples who thrive after one or both were widowed are very respectful of their partner’s late spouse,” she wrote. 

If the issue continues lingering, as in the author’s case, Dr. Whiten encourages seeking professional help. She advises focusing on early life and upbringing, as the behavior could be a sign of neglect and insecurity as a child. 

The author may need to focus on working on herself more than anything else. She may have to face her unresolved issues to save her seemingly crumbling marriage. However, given the damage it caused her husband and stepdaughter, it will likely be an uphill climb.

If this is true - what an absolutely evil act. The act of a shallow, self-centered narcissist who cannot handle that they aren't the Only Main Character of their husband's life. I hope the husband left her. I can't imagine his agony. Just because he kept PHOTOS of his previous wife doesn't mean he didn't LOVE OP. My boyfriend once dumped some of my dead dog's ashes into the toilet and flushed them because he was trying to make a point to me - that the "physical reminders" of dead pets and relatives are meaningless. That was over 10 years ago and I never forgave him. Spoilers: he never changed, he is still a horrible person like OP, and I'm getting out of the relationship finally. I hope OP's husband did the same.

I lost my long time girlfriend to cancer twenty years go this month. I married a few years after she died. My wife has never been jealous. In fact, we were just talking about how we are going to go to her grave and bring some flowers for the 20th anniversary of her passing.

You know, put the pictures and other stuff aside in a box or two, with the stepdaughter’s name on them. You don’t have to see them, but you’re not depriving your stepchild of pictures of their dead mother. Children are curious about who they are, including who they look like in the family, and when it comes to a deceased parent, their curiosity is multiplied a hundredfold. If she has any memories of her mother, maybe some of them were captured in a picture. Throwing away/donating 100% of the dead mom’s stuff and pictures means wiping that part of the child’s past away. It’s gone; at the bottom of a trash dump, in some stranger’s house, or on some stranger’s back. That was a cruel act on OP’s part, done for no other reason than OP being eaten up with jealousy of a dead woman. She’s sorry now, but it’s too late. The easiest way to stay out of trouble is to not get into it in the first place. Talking with her then fiancé about how the number of pictures and all of his first wife were affecting her, and asking for it to be put away for his daughter would’ve been a way more reasonable place to start.

OP should have gotten an abortion and left. That level of harm she did to that family was so insanely disgusting. Oh, you love him. But you don't actually care about him. You knew all that time what you did was wrong but didn't say anything. You then baby trapped him. I have zero sympathy for her or her feelings. What she did was just so wrong it can't be undone.

Absolutely inexcusable behavior. No amount of counseling would help me get over my wife throwing out my and my daughter's past. There are books of photos of my wife's ex (still alive) that haven't seen the light of day in decades. But they are here if their kids want them. I can't stand him, but it isn't my stuff.

I'm moving and I have to get RID of everything, I can't take everything...

Oh my. A widower ... means, his previous wife didn't leave, he didn't leave her, she died. There's likely no hard feelings among them, no hatred that built up from some quirky habit that was funny the first few times, but grew a torture to witness over time, no stored resentment, but only ... love, that can't be applied the usual way, sadness and, as he got into dating again, at least a serious attempt to move on. Can you even ask for more? And then, the daughter, of course ... I don't think I could forgive such a step Ma, and if she can't, we're not to judge. But, fück her. Step Daughter will remain a stranger to her. By her actions. I wonder how she explained that to husband, as she writes in the same session that she doesn't really know why she did it. All the still existing love that may spark jealousy can't bring her back even for one minute, so she's, for that matter, not a threat anyway. Step Woman is just not a good person.

This is not unbelievable. My wife has a similar experience with her stepmother. This is a despicable horrendous act of jealousy and low self esteem. Throwing away memories of someone, trying to compete with a dead person, being jealous of someone who isn't even alive, is disgraceful. This person has lost her right to live among other human beings. Divorce her now and never have any contact with her. She asks what she can do to make things right... well, delete every memory of yourself too and disappear.

Wow, what an evil woman! I don't blame OP at all for her stance. No one gets to tell anyone to 'get over it'' if they are not over it. All the other family members want is not to have to deal with this, that's all. Purely selfish. This woman has deprived OP of the tangible reminders of her mother's life and personality: she basically killed OP's mother.

This is not unbelievable. My wife has a similar experience with her stepmother. This is a despicable horrendous act of jealousy and low self esteem. Throwing away memories of someone, trying to compete with a dead person, being jealous of someone who isn't even alive, is disgraceful. This person has lost her right to live among other human beings. Divorce her now and never have any contact with her. She asks what she can do to make things right... well, delete every memory of yourself too and disappear.

Wow, what an evil woman! I don't blame OP at all for her stance. No one gets to tell anyone to 'get over it'' if they are not over it. All the other family members want is not to have to deal with this, that's all. Purely selfish. This woman has deprived OP of the tangible reminders of her mother's life and personality: she basically killed OP's mother.

She is an unconscionable piece of s**t, no bones about it. This is wicked old and I hope to God that poor man divorced her.
