How do I stop feeling jealous and just accept its just me?

[Anonymous]

I've lately been jealous of people who are married or seem to be getting to that step. I'm jealous of other women getting pregnant or having kids. I'm not sure why but I keep questioning, what is wrong with me? I try to be compassionate and caring. My last 3 dates took full advantage of this. Now I have a boyfriend that I've been together for almost 6 months. I still feel this jealous feeling and I am just waiting for the day he decides to dump me and replace me with a better girl. I don't share this with him.

I just feel that in my heart... no one wants to keep me nor have children with me. I'm just not special and I don't know what is wrong with me.

I feel similar in the sense, towards people who I feel grew up having a normal dating life, I sure didn't.

I feel bitter and resentful towards young couples, as in, couples that are in their teens and early 20s, because I feel I didn't grow up having a normal youth in terms of a dating life, for example, I didn't lose my virginity in high school or in my teenage years like the majority of people do it seems, or beginning of 20s at the latest it seems, wasn't until a little later but I have still lived a mostly sexless life, however I am currently dating someone as of a couple of months now but we haven't had sex yet, I know that time is coming soon but I feel I have permanent mental emotional damage over having lived a mostly celibate life.

But yeah just sum it up I just feel I didn't grow up having a normal dating life in my formative years, didn't grow up having a normal youth.

It's sometimes makes me feel jealous of women because obviously they're not expected to put in as much effort to have a dating life as men do due to the status quo of the world of men always being expected to court women or make the first move, which prevents more women than men from missing out on these youthful years I describe.

What's wrong with you is absolutely not a god damn thing! It's quite normal, at your age, to feel this way. "Time keeps on slippin', slipping,' slippin' away", as the song goes. Girls feel that way as you get into your 20's. It will happen for you too.

Thanks for the MHO!

When I was single five years ago I was 25 I had given up on dating completely I was you. Then out of nowhere I saw my husband who I am married to now out of no where he bent over I checked out his butt didn’t mean to and he caught me staring and smiled and the rest was history. We got married six months later been married now five years together five and half. We have issues just like any other relationship but you have work on the relationship. It could be your looking for the wrong type of guy and if nobody wants you you lower your standards for any guy that walks through the door keep standards keep a distance men love when a girl has her own life. Don’t be a girl be a woman don’t tolerate their crap I don’t and he’s still here I have my own company now so does he. But ask him where this relationship is going and listen if he says nothing serious he means it Matthew hussy gives great advice check him out he will give you confidence too!

Even if you had all those things you still won't be happy girl. Jealousy is like a disease and it's deep routed. Maybe be a little grateful for what you already have and don't block future blessings by this negative emotion of being jealous of others.

Focus on the good in your life and remember that even though the neighbor grass looks greener it is never the case

For example:
You see a woman that is pregnant but she might have dome health problems or her boyfriend/hubby cheats on her.. you never know the downside. Other people will always put on a shiny facade

Easy to answer but hard to do. Lose your expectations. You share far more than you'll ever know through your body language.

the hek? why would he dump you? why you don't be honest with him that one day you want to get married and have kids? Stop wasting your life... this is your right

^^this. Tell him what you want. If he wants the same things then great! If not, it’s best you find that out. Good luck and never give up

[Shihab91]

Yes... 👌

by reading many articles in internet that explain how high divorce rate everywhere , it is increasing each year
you would realize that getting married is stupid decision

You envy what you see and don't even live it. You want what they have but you never been through the hardship. You should envy that. Fyi be grateful.

Once an old wise man told me that women who get jealous the most are more likely to cheat.
