maybe try and redirect the jealousy if you can? like instead of being upset if he has something you don’t, it can be “(whatever thing) is so nice and I’m happy he has it, I would love to have one for myself in the future too”

i will say that communication is one of our strengths as a couple, and the issue here is something i think i need to figure out internally

mainly his job and his academics and social life

he is very busy with work so i feel neglected but he isn't doing anything wrong, i think i'm just jealous that he is being successful

and for academics, i guess i'm jealous that his classes are so easy compared to mine (he is a business major and i'm a math major)

i guess the overall thing is that i'm jealous of how fulfilled he is right now with his work because it makes me feel like he values his career more than he values me

also, he is in a choir that i auditioned for but got rejected from, so now i'm in the less good choir and i get frustrated. and i think that if i reauditioned i could get into his group but he said that he prefers we be in different groups

I get that. I think letting him know you’re struggling with these feelings is okay, and journaling, talking with friends, focusing on your own goals and less on comparison can all help.

and to make it worse, he is fulfilled by a career that i dont understand at all, in the sports industry. so it feels like we have little to nothing in common now
