Ok, so I know that when I was really close to being engaged and other couples got engaged I would feel a twinge of jealousy for them being engaged and not me. I know that's normal... But now that I am engaged, and other people are getting engaged (it seems like this year is the year of the...

But now that I am engaged, and other people are getting engaged (it seems like this year is the year of the engagement in my circle!! it must come in waves), I am also feeling a little bit of the green eyed monster. I don't even know if it's jealousy per se, but more like I feel a tiny twinge of idk what that there are more engagements to kind of steal the spotlight. Don't get me wrong, I am super happy for these people, I just wish they would have waited until later to get engaged, haha.

I just have to keep reminding myself that it's silly to feel that way and that I need to happy happy for them! Our weddings and engagements are totally separate and I can still be happy for them and have my own wonderful experience. Anyone else experience these feelings?

    Not really jealous of other engaged couples, FHs best friend proposed to his long time gf valentines day. We got engaged at Christmas. He picked the same exact engagement ring as FH! I know it's not right, but I was thinking REALLY??? There are other rings out there!

    I totally get the baby thing. I'm sooooo jealous. I couldn't get prego with the ex. (Good thing cause he woulda sucked as a dad) it still makes me jealous to see and hear about all the girls getting pregnant. Some not married or already has 2-3. FH says we can start trying soon as we get married. I can't wait!

    Never really been jealous of envious of anything in my entire life. Only think I could say I really wished I had when I see it, is a close friendship with someone. Moving a lot has sucked and having untrue "friends" has made it hard for me. But that's really the only thing I wish I had. Lame, I know lol.
