[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tend to think that people who throw out the "you're jealous" suggestion (of not being married, not having kids, or whatever) are actually the ones that are jealous - of the unmarried, childless person's freedom.

At least that's been the case with one of my siblings, who accused me of being jealous of precisely those things. I always wanted to get married and have kids... until my siblings got married and had kids, and I became more exposed to the realities of marriage/kids. Not that there aren't a lot of great things, but it's not all roses. There's addiction, anger, abandonment, cheating, tiredness, lots and lots of tiredness, less time, less money, much less energy. This particular sibling had numerous marital problems while accusing me of being jealous, which was just odd. It was clearly a projection on their part. So when people throw out the suggestion that someone else is "just jealous," like it's the only possible way to explain things, I'm pretty skeptical of them.

Wtf are you saying [/quote]

You know how when people are mean/negative about others, it's generally because they dislike something about themselves? I think it's kind of like that. It's easier to pretend others are jealous, than actually deal with your own demons. [/quote]
