Possible for spouse to be jealous?

[Anonymous]

Post title says it all. Is jealousy in a marriage possible? If so, would you say it’s rare?

Jealous of what?

What do you mean by possible? Seems a strange question. Of course. People get jealous of all kinds of things. The fact you asked makes me wonder if the jealousy is something unusual, controlling or worse, though. If the jealousy translates to controlling your behavior, choice of friends, choice of clothing etc. you have a serious issue going on. We need more info to help, OP, question is too vague.

War of the roses? Sleeping with the enemy? Yes. You should always look for someone who supports your success. Sorry if you unluckily married a hater.

Of course. There are so many women who have to minimize themselves because of their insecure and jealous spouses. For a very visible example, look at the interview that the husband of Simone Biles did recently. He’s clearly very insecure and jealous.

Omg yes, I saw that.

He can’t handle being married to someone more famous than him.

That’s the end of a lot of marriages, but it doesn’t have to be if the jealous person is willing to work through it.

That guy reported said he had never heard of her (Simone Biles). Has he been living under a rock? I guess he is another dumb football player.

Why would a woman like Simone Biles settle for a man like that?

Not to derail from OP, but I was really appalled by that guy. I don’t even know his name!! He is just Simone Biles’ husband.

He sucked her in and got her attached first.

He was totally lying!!! I think he is terrified of being called a simp. The whole thing did not come off the way he expected it to though, ha.

OP I have been jealous of my husband. I gave up prospects of my dream job to stay home with kids, and then my husband got the dream job! I got over it quick though. And then I saw more of him doing his job and now I know that I wouldn’t have been good at it anyway.

Yes, unless both spouses are truly best friends and want the best for each other it is common for one spouse to be jealous of another. It's the sad truth. But, remember most marriages are not perfect. There's always underlying animosity.

Years ago I was jealous of my husbands professional success as I made career trade offs as a mother. But I got over it as my kids did well and we live a very good life. It’s helped that my husband has never referred to our money as his.

My husband off hand remarked that my accomplishments are for the most part due to luck vs my efforts. Wow.
