It bothers me that my wife gets jealous because I get more vacation days than her. It just seems so petty of her to be jealous of something like that. And no I don't throw it in her face.
She should be happy for you ... sounds like she may be a downer about things that you have and she doesn't - is that a good partner?
jealousy is generally petty she trusts you enough to share her petty feelings that means she feels safe being vulnerable with you maybe she's mentally/physically/emotionally exhausted from her job and wishing she was a rich lady that could just take a year off to relax and find herself so she wouldn't be having petty feelings of jealousy show me the cure for jealousy and I'll take 10
My wife gets vacation days and I dont get any. I have to pull teeth just to get it planned months in advance. tell her it could be worse.
That's one of the ways that we're different. I'm the type of person who likes being happy w/ what I have and going w/ the flow, knowing that in the end it all works out if I put in the effort. She always wants more. That's fine. I just wanted to see what other people think of such jealousy between spouses.
Good point. I hadn't noticed that part. I've never come straight out and told here it bothers me but she's seen the reaction on my face. I know that I will bring it up to her so we can talk it out. When she says she's jealous of my day off I let her know that as much as I plan on doing something for myself I also make it a point to try and give her a benefit out of it. Clean up the house, etc... so we can have free time together. She worked part time for a few years while we were taking care of her grandmother. Recently went back to FT work in more of a career job and loves her job. She just doesn't enjoy working. Her dream is to win the lottery. That's the other thing, she just started this job and eventually accrue vacations days. Also she will get to travel w/ this job. Idk, i wish she'd see that we all have good and bad things in our life. Ideally I wish she could see the big picture. There are things she has in her life that I could be jealous of. She has a very nice relationship w/ her sister and overall all her relations w/ family are better. My family relations on the other hand are much different. I don't feel jealous of this I just feel happy for her. I'm sure that when we do talk this out she will in the end see what I'm talking about.
for fuck sakes....this is about vacation days...i was hoping you were one of those dudes that cant look up from a menu or your wife freaks out....vacation days?.....tell her she gets what she deserves and so do you
