    Hey,

    would love to get a bit of advice on this.

    I'm going out with my gf for just over a year....now I love this girl and she really is everything to me but recently I'm finding myself becoming jealous of her.

    We work in very similar jobs/have very similar qualifications and recently she's landed quite a nice position whilst I'm stuck doing what I always have...now the job does'nt pay more or anything its just more interesting/impressive than what I am doing.

    Now at first I thought this was great and was delighted for her but now any time she talks about it I find myself getting very depressed and feeling inadequate...its like she is making the most of all these great opportunities and I'm stagnating (Leaving my current position at the moment is a definite no-no btw).

    I feel so jealous it actually disgusts me...I absolutely hate feeling like this...Im being a total dick and Im finding it harder and harder to mask how I really feel.....I have absolutely no right to be upset at her yet it gets me so down.


    Now I know Im being a bit of a gobsh1te here and Im sure Ill get a good few "snap out of it" responses (What Ive been telling myself for the last month)....but what are peoples thoughts on this? I dont want to be in competition with my GF and I feel this is driving us apart.

    your not a gobshiat just need to realise a couple things, if this is a woman you see yourself with for the rest of your days there will be times when she will be making more money than you and vice vesa, in 5 years time you could be making alot more money than here who knows!

    as long as you are willing to accept that she is slightly more successful than you now so what!

    its not as if this is a lady and the tramp story where she is a property developer and you are living on the street mate ;)

    try and be happy for her success, you are a team after all, as the lad said above it is only a small time in your overall lives.

    hope it helps
