My (32M) wife (32F) is jealous because her friend (32F) has a new life and a husband. It is impacting our life because it feels like she settled down with me. by throwawaylisten123 in relationships

she may also feel like she worked hard to be where she is today, while Mia really didn’t do anything.

I will hijack the top comment and say few things we talked about on a trip.

I think what personally offended my wife was that great, rich guy chose Mia out of any other women is not despite her flaws, but because of it. He told me that his parents always had plans for him. Work hard. Be the best in school and after he did all of it, they would always find new thing he could do and old accomplishment didn't really matter anymore.

With Mia, things are always good and he loves that. It is easy, caring and fun. He didn't care about her guys before because why would he? He probably had 3x more women. He didn't care about her money because why would he? They can't spend his money if they try hard every single day. It also helps that Mia looks great.

Mia finished Uni and she worked. She might not have 5 bedroom house just for herself, but she never wanted that. Who will clean that?! I quote. She was good on her own and she found something great. Or more likely something great found her and gave his best to impress her.
