They can get angry when they hear their husband is cheating, suspect and investigate and then meet the third person to beat the other person to vent their anger. People who beat the other person this way are often hot-tempered, can't control themselves but are very forgiving of their husband's actions.
Some people will cry violently and then silently take their anger out on those around them, usually their husband and children, and then tend to be violent, become withdrawn, and depressed.
Once they know their husband has betrayed them, they will be filled with hatred. And they may resort to the worst method, which is to destroy everything with the thought “if I don’t have it, no one else will have it” and often brings the worst results.
Some people are jealous in a smarter way. These people are often very rational, they know how to adjust their emotions and act in the most perfect way.

People often say "Jealousy is the spice of love". Smooth love affairs without storms or jealousy easily make the people involved feel bored and monotonous. Love without a little jealousy and anger is like the blandness of a dish without spices.
