[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is a unicorn. Married rich. To a great guy who adores her. Perfect and loving in laws. Great job. Easy and successful pregnancy. House In a desirable location.

She is so happy and smug. Talking about how she worked so hard so she deserves this and we all need to work harder so we can fix our own lives. Ugh I hate her! [/quote]

I hate to tell you this but she's not a unicorn. I happen to know a few women in my social circle who fit this description. I might feel the occasional twinge of envy but have to admit that they are special in their own right. To have a very successful, loving man fall in love with you usually means you are attractive  to that kind of man. That kind of man often has loving and successful parents. Often these women are quite attractive and socially adept. Other than being smug and happy, what does your sister have going for her that you do not? [/quote]

Op here. Well, this is just it. For as long as I recall my sister has been treated like she’s special. Teachers and neighbors and friends of our parents would fawn about her. How mature and thoughtful she was. How beautiful she was. How special she was.

She has that rare combination of beauty, poise and a great head on her shoulders. Her husband is a catch. Rich and successful, yes, but a thoroughly decent guy and his parents are wonderful people. They all love my sister and feel so lucky to have her.

I mean, you tell me how a mere mortal is supposed to not feel envious![/quote]
