Symptoms of the Fear of Loss of Love

The Fear of Loss of Love
The original source of this inherent fear needs but little description. It obviously (on the male side) grew out of males early and, apparently,
inherently polygamous nature and the propensity to steal the mates of other males. It also derives (on the female side) from woman’s maternal instincts and need for protection during periods of pregnancy and early child nurturing. Both men and women, therefore, have a biological and behavioral basis to fear the loss of love or mate companionship.”
Jealousy and other similar forms of neurosis thus grow out of human beings inherited fear of the loss of security that the loss of love and companionship of another person represents. This fear is the most painful of all the Six Basic Fears. It plays more havoc with the body and mind than any of the other basic fears, and it can lead to severe mental problems.
As indicated above, the Fear of Loss of Love probably dates back to the Stone Age, when males stole females by brute force. They continue to do so in modern civilizations, but their technique has changed. Instead of force, they now use the lure of romantic persuasion, the promise of fine clothes, expensive automobiles and jewelry, access to economic power, and other bait much more effective than physical force. Males habits are the same as they were at the dawn of civilization, but are expressed differently.
Careful analysis has shown that women generally are more susceptible to the Fear of Loss of Love than are men. This fact is easily explained.
Women through the ages have learned from experience that men,
considered as a group, are polygamous by nature, that they are not to be trusted in the hands of rivals.
