Women are concerned about their partner becoming attracted to other women by sex, intelligence, and other attractions, and dissatisfaction with the current relationship.
女人担心她们的伴侣被其他女人的性感、理解力和其他特质所吸引，担心会对现在的关系不满意。
Men are more concerned about protecting their egos if they are "beaten out" by another man; they worry about their partner having sex with someone else (but they'd probably blame the partner if that did happen).

Emotional reactions: If we decide there is a threat to our love, we can have a very wide range of responses: clinging dependency, anger at the competitor or the partner, morbid curiosity, self-criticism, and depression with suicidal thoughts, hurt and resentment of the partner's lack of devotion, social embarrassment, selfish—sometimes realistic—concerns ("I'd better take the money out of the bank"), urge to "get back at" the partner, fear of losing companionship, loneliness, regrets at giving up all the future plans, etc.
情绪反应：如果我们确信爱情有威胁，我们会有一系列的反应：执着的依赖，憎恨竞争者或者伴侣，恐怖的好奇心，自我批评，有轻生的沮丧念头，厌恶对方没有投入感情，社交障碍，自私——有时候现实——忧虑（我最好把钱取出银行），报复对方的强烈愿望，害怕失去伴侣，孤独，后悔放弃未来的所有的计划，等等。
Coping response: There are two basic choices—trying to save the threatened relationship or trying to protect your sagging ego.
应对响应：有两个基本的选择——要么维护好受到威胁的关系，要么保护好自己的心。
