Jealousy
Men feel jealousy when their women cheat.
Women feel heartbreak when their men cheat, which is a different emotion - see the second last bold paragraph title below.
Jealousy is a different emotion than envy - see the last bold paragraph title below.
Only men in love can feel jealousy.
Men can only feel jealousy for a woman if they are in love with her. Men fall in love with a woman at month 4 of a relationship and fall out of love at month 46 or about 4 years. So men can feel jealousy as early as month 4 and cannot feel it after 4 years.
Women intuitively know that men only feel jealousy if they are in love. Women are often pleased to see their man become jealous. It confirms their man has fallen in love or is still in love. Women sometimes flirt with other men just to see if it makes their man jealous.
Men feel jealousy if their women make other men feel any type of sexual pleasure.
The negative mental effect of jealousy starts, for example, when:
The more pleasure the other man feels, the stronger the jealousy a man feels.
A man will feel weak jealousy if another man just enjoys looking at his woman. He will feel much stronger jealousy if another man enjoys intercourse with his woman.
This why men want to know the sexual details of cheating. They want to know how jealous they should feel. As they learn more details from their woman, they express growing anger. The strongest jealousy may be caused by imagining their woman fellating another man.
Men stop feeling jealousy when they retaliate against their woman.
The negative mental effect of jealousy stops, for example, when:
Jealousy does not stop until the man achieves eye-for-an-eye retaliation.
Similar to the emotion of revenge, men keep feeling jealousy until they get even with their woman. Getting even means jealous men harm their women as much as the other man enjoyed sexual pleasure. If the other man just enjoyed leering at his woman, a jealous man will probably stop feeling jealous by giving his woman the cold shoulder. If the other man enjoyed fellatio from his woman, a jealous man may not stop feeling jealousy without being violent or breaking up.
Jealousy is a common problem during the 38 month gap.
When a couple "falls in love", men feel love until month 46 but women only feel infatuation until month 8. Unless they have a child, this leaves a 38 month gap where the man is content but the woman is not.
After 8 months, a woman will no longer be able to feel infatuation from her man. To continue to feel infatuation, she must seek the attention of other men. So she continues to dress to get attention - but from other men now. Dressing to get the attention of other men will make her current man man feel mild jealousy.
If a woman lets the attention of other men become open flirting, her man's jealousy will become intolerable. He will start quarreling with her and she will stop flirting - for a while. She will return to flirting once he seems to be over the last incident - restarting the cycle. If she continues for years, they will probably split up.

Women feel heartbreak, not jealousy, when their man cheats.
While jealousy and heartbreak are both negative emotions caused by cheating, they have two key differences: their causes and ability to be stopped.
While jealousy is caused by sex, heartbreak is caused by love. Men feel jealousy when their woman has sex with another man. Women feel heartbreak when their man shows signs of falling in love with another woman. You can see the difference in the questions that each gender ask when learning of cheating. Men are most concerned with the type of sex that the other man enjoyed. Women are most concerned with how much money was spent on the other woman.
While jealousy can be stopped, heartbreak cannot. Men stop feeling jealousy if they retaliate against their woman. Women do not stop heartbreak if they retaliate. They feel it forever.
Women may also feel the negative emotion of revenge - particularly if they are publicly humiliated by the cheating. Women can stop revenge by retaliating against the man, but not heartbreak. They will continue to feel heartbreak after revenge stops.
Jealousy is a different emotion than envy.
Jealousy and envy are considered synonyms because both refer to negative emotions caused when somebody has something you want. A jealous man wants his woman exclusively. An envious person wants something another person has.
They are not synonyms. They refer to different emotions. While jealousy only affects men in love, envy can affect anyone. While jealousy is caused when a woman has sex with another man, envy is caused when a peer does better than you. While men stop feeling jealousy when they retaliate against the woman, envy does not stop - unless you do better or your peer does worse.
Simply put, jealousy is about women cheating and envy is about being outranked.
