[quote=Anonymous]I know the title sounds awful, but my brother and husband are in similar career fields, although my brother is a lot more successful.  My husband currently holds a higher position, but is in a dead-end job, while my brother is being groomed for leadership.  Fine - although my brother and his family and our parents are constantly rubbing it in DH's face.  My SIL puts on airs about it, and my parents are constantly bragging about how wonderful their son is and how it's just too bad that my husband can't be successful and he must have done [i]something [/i]to end up where he did.  It makes me angry and I'm sure it hurts his feelings, not to mention that no woman wants to hear how her husband is a poor provider.  Maybe this is more of a vent than anything else, because I know my brother has just been lucky and ambitious and yes, I'm jealous of both those things.  I don't suppose there's any way of convincing these people that my husband isn't a failure and my brother isn't as amazing as he seems?[/quote]
