Why is it that some people do not want someone/something, but they do not want other to have it either?
I have never understood this, whether it be exes, or job promotions, etc...
Can someone tell me the reasoning behind this, besides pure spite?

Because people are selfish and controlling and by not wanting others to have things they think they are controlling them.

That's the only reason behind it, pure spite.

When a person has had a bad experience in the hands of someone or something, they wish that person or thing to do badly. Hence, the victim doesn't want someone else to have it, 'cos something good might happen to the person who hurt them.
It's psychological.

Because, dear, some people are just spiteful jerks. My boyfriend's ex-wife is like that. Notice I said "ex" wife. ;-)

It's how most two year olds live their life. Unfortunately there are a lot of adults who live like two year olds.
