Jealousy

...See more I find myself in an odd situation. My spouse and I have been planning to retire and relocate to a warmer climate for over a year. It has always been our dream and we can now finally do it. I have spent so many hours researching and learning everything I can about the new area, reviewing our budget and handling the logistics of how to move cross country, soul searching about moving away from local family and made several visits to make sure we are making the right move. All of a sudden my best friend and her husband announces that they like what we have told them and asked for all my research and then bought a vacation house there in a matter of 1 month and they have never even visited there once before except for this 1 time to buy. Of course, their vacation house is much bigger and fancier than what we can afford for our house which is not a 2nd vacation home. I should note that they have always had the house that everyone envied. It’s on a lake and it’s like living at a resort. And I have to admit that when we announced our plans to move our friends all expressed how wonderful it would be for us it was nice to be the one with something cool. I should be happy for her. I should be happy for me and my husband. But I find myself jealous of her and can’t stop feeling like she was trying to one up me. I hate myself for feeling this way.
