I'm quite curious if there is a relationship between sibling rivalry/jealousy in a child and, later in life, rivalry/jealousy with a romantic partner.

I've never studied psychology but I wonder if the envy that is so strong in children with their siblings trains us to treat our romantic partners with a similar envy...
