[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be happy for your own advantages in life and the things you enjoy about your spouse. Sure, I wish my spouse earned more but he probably wishes I looked like a Victoria’s Secret model (I don’t.)

Also, my dad is a retired big law partner and the grueling number of hours he worked put an enormous strain on my parents marriage. Though we had a nice life and a loving home, it was a sad relationship dynamic to be around growing up, and my dad missed a lot of his kids milestones working at a job he loathed. [/quote]

Haha, you don’t care if your spouse makes much because YOU come from a rich family. How can you miss that? I’ll bet you had DP help, fully funded education, and don’t have to worry about paying for your parents elder care?[/quote]

DP but I am much more envious of people who come from wealthy families than I am of women who marry rich guys. Graduating from school without debt is such a gift. Plus wealthy families can also often help with down payments, or they pay for nice travel, or they'll pay for your kids childcare. Hell, I'm jealous of people who have parents who provide free childcare (and are young and interested in doing so).

I'd rather have a wealthy and supportive family than a high earning spouse. With a wealthy family, you have support and protection even if you never marry at all. [/quote]

Plenty of abusive behavior in wealthy families too and lots of using money to try to control and create dependence. Also, with physical and sexual abuse CPS can turn a blind eye for fear of endless lawsuits. You'd be surprised how warped and disturbed wealthy families can be, Armmie Hammmers family is the extreme, but there are plenty of disturbing tales.[/quote]

Abusive families come from all socioeconomic backgrounds. This whole narrative of don’t be jealous because their lives aren’t as great as you think is silly. Their relationships have the same amount of challenge and conflict as anyone else, but insecurity over expenses isn’t the cause of them. [/quote]
I would not so blatantly say that
If you want to live your life being jealous, then by all means do so

I don't see much to envy in lives of others. I am not rich or wealthy and never will be
