Wedding jealousy..

This is really embarrassing but I've been having some jealous feelings recently toward other people getting married! It sounds totally immature since I'm getting married myself in less than 8 months. I know it's wrong but I can't help from feeling this way sometimes. It's not with everyone, just...

I know it's wrong but I can't help from feeling this way sometimes. It's not with everyone, just with some people. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm so happy myself but sometimes it has been hard to be happy for others. I feel awful!

    I feel the same way. I mostly get jealous that I can't have my wedding sooner. But I know the extra time will be so nice in the end. I think it's very natural and I think women have a tendency to compare themselves to others which doesn't help

    Hmm... I wouldn't say jealous of others getting engaged or married, but I have been more jealous with FH since he proposed which is odd. I think I'm afraid that I'll lose him before I "have him" because he'll realize that I'm wacko and not want to be engaged anymore lol. Unlikely, but my anxiety likes to lie to me sometimes.

    Edit/update: just confirmed, FH already says he knows I'm wacko and loves me for it, haha Smiley smile I had to tell him.

    Try to keep yourself away from those you're feeling envious of. I deleted all my social media except WW so I could focus on myself. Maybe that would help? I got tired of reading bad things on them.

    I totally understand... my engagement will be over 2 years long and I am a very impatient person... I've had a hard time with people getting engaged a year after me and getting married long before I am... it's stupid and childish but I'm jealous.... but I have to remind myself that we are waiting and doing what's right for us. We want to buy a house etc. It's just not fun waiting and looking at everyone else's beautiful wedding pictures... I got super jealous because someone got engaged after I did and will be married in a couple months at this venue I wanted but was just barely out of budget... sometimes it's hard to not be petty and jealous... gotta try not to give in to it!!!

    Like stated above the grass is always greener on the other side. Your Cousin whipped together a wedding, in return she is limited on selection in each direction. Just think of your pros Smiley smile

    Jealousy is part of being human. It sucks, we'd like to decimate it, but, at the end of the day, we're still plagued by it.

    What are you jealous of? If you've already expressed your overall feeling, some details might help us in speaking reason to you.
