Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

 One situation where jealousy negatively affected a relationship I've experienced was when I was playing basketball in game and was jealous about someone else performing better than me.

As I got in the game I try to be better and took bad shots and it costed my team quite a bit and everyone was a bit mad, luckily it was only the first half and I came out realize it was affecting the team and next went out and played better. Even though I wasn't doing the best and I did my role I was still bit jealous but I almost let it affect me completely and the game. That was a long time ago and I've changed my mindset since then.
