Jealous of my husband's brother's wife?

[Anonymous]

i have never felt this before until now., I don't understand why I am jealous of my husbands brothers wife. She is 10 years younger than me, she isn't pow wow, but its the way she carries herself. She dresses hip, and I feel she has the personality just like my husbands. If he looks at her I get funny, if he talks to her I get funny. I haven't said anything to my husband because I don't want him to know my weakness but I'm thinking of it wasn't her id be like this with other girls too. Its like I feel she's prettier, trendier, nicer, calmer, cleverer, confident, I'm sick of feeling this way...

Girl, you need a confidence boost!

Ya know what word really sticks out in your paragraph above? HUSBAND.

Love, he's all your's. Don't worry about other girls! There's obviously a lot of amazing reasons why he chose you to be his one and only forever and ever, and every time you start to get jealous, you need to remind yourself of these reasons.

Oh, you don't know all of the reasons? You've forgotten some over the years? Ask him! He's your boo! You could turn it into a cute game even. "Yo babe, I think you're sexy, handy, and no one plays air guitar the way you do! ... What are you favorite things about me?" or "If I was a female superhero, what would my powers be?"

Go do it now!

It's a hard thing to stop comparing yourself with other women. It's something I've struggled with in the past also. My best advice? Always be your best self.

You hate your love handles (not that I'm assuming you have them, just providing an example!), hit the gym. You think your temper sucks? Work on becoming more patient. Even if don't consider yourself perfect, you'll feel better about yourself simply being the best you can be.

And nothing's sexier to men than a woman who does something about things she hates instead of just bitching about them (:

Best of luck, dearie!
