I don't understand it, I just don't. Maybe it's because I'm not a jealous person, I don't know. I've been doing a lot of thinking recently and the only conclusion I can come to is that jealousy is behind much of what's going on in my life right now.

Everything we have (and I'm not talking about just material things) is from DH and myself working hard. We have put in so much of our time and effort to get where we are today yet to some it's seen as a threat.

Why can't people be happy for others? Why does it make people feel intimidated or angry when someone has something they don't? Why does jealousy consume some people so much that it eats away at them and makes them try to ruin other peoples lives?
