Audience V opened with the story of his parents over 70 years old. Every day was suddenly peaceful and chaotic when her mother was often jealous because her father often went out to exercise and chat with friends.
The peak was when a neighbor came to slash his father's leg right in front of his mother, making her angry, refusing to eat and having to be hospitalized. Audience C also shared a similar story: after the accident, her mother started to be fiercely jealous, constantly blamed, and even asked for divorce even though her father was always silent and patient.
According to actress Tuyen Map, jealousy in old age comes from affection but also reflects insecurity and inferiority.
"The more I feel sorry for you, the more vulnerable I am. If I am in a hurry, it will only make me feel the most hurt, she shared, while emphasizing the need for calmness and understanding.
Dr. To Nhi A analyzed that jealousy in old age is different from youth, mostly due to living conditions, physiology and psychology. Elderly people tend to pay more attention to small details, easily getting caught up in emotional loopholes.
According to her, jealousy can be a "tasty" in marriage, as long as it does not affect health or happiness. However, in cases of excessive jealousy, children need to find ways to regulate, be skillful in talking and help parents have more joy to reduce stress.
Both guests agreed that jealousy does not matter of age. It is a sign of love but also reflects fear and insecurity. People involved need to be cared for, listened to and accompanied, instead of being silent or avoiding.
