I know a lady whose husband was promoted as a project manager in an oil and gas company in Canada. The guy called us to come and celebrate with him because within two months of landing in Canada he got a job in the company that promoted him within 6 months of working with them. The wife on the other hand has been in Canada for 5 years. She initially came to study for her masters. When she finished her studies, she tried to get her permanent residency through Canadian Experience but she was told she did not have enough experience. She was advised to do menial jobs in order to get her papers, which she did. She got her papers through that avenue. She tried getting a job in her field but she has not gotten any yet only data entry or customer service jobs. She brought the husband to Canada and within 2 months of coming to Canada the guy got a job.
On the day of the celebration, she was complaining bitterly. She compared herself to her husband saying the guy does not even have masters. This surprised me. Can a wife be envious of her husband?

Yes.

How supportive are they of each other? They should be fueling each other's ambitions, and celebrating each other's successes. She needs to re-focus her energy STAT.

Its better for her to start thanking God. What if the hubby has no job and he is becoming a burden/liability to her? Women sha

Only a scornful woman would do such.

Jealous of your hubby's success sounds childish to me.

It is called comparative assessment. Some people make it sound bad but it is normal for people to think that way and as long as it does not make her spiteful or negative, there is nothing wrong in being bothered that someone around you is moving foward and you ain't or not moving fast enough

She needs to get over it and support her husband

Why is she angry? Trying to do the providing or what? She better get use to it or else she can kiss her marriage good bye

That shouldn't be done on a day meant to celebrate the husband's success.

The husband's success should be hers aswell. So the 'comparative assessment' she did, in this case is inappropriate.

Just because she complained does not mean she is not happy for him. It is just her looking at herself and wondering what she did wrong. Believe me it hurts when you try everything and you don't get results and someone else tries a little and gets the results you want.

You feel inferior and unhappy. I don't blame het cos I get it . Funny thing is that she feels like a failure and not hating the man or his success

And there is always the one who does not understand human emotions making comments that will hurt her more around

I am not defending her but I have seen what frustration and depression does. When it gets to an extent, you just have to talk as this might be the only way the person can feel better.
Who she complains also matters

The wife is a feminist! That is how they behave...Their blood pressure goes high anytime it is a man that succeeded and not a woman. They forget that different people have different results..the man should dump her stinking, ungrateful atrociously smelling puccy and come I gat me some good women to recommend.

I agree!

She should have 'complained' to the husband privately abd on a different day.

That day was a special day for both of them to allow her frustrations get the better part of her.

Not the norm.
Usually the other way around. . .ALWAYS!

Except if she be W!TCH.................







Why my wife go envy my success







She wan go back her papa house abi

thats women for you.



but it's not supposed to be this way. they should be complimenting each other and not competing against each other, bearing in mind that the success of a spouse is for the betterment of the entire family...

why na



Should'nt be
Its a collective success

YES















only GREEDY WOMEN
having someone like her as friend as at your own risk.

uhmmmmmmmm.... irony of life..... we ar all covered with flesh.... nt only the women..... men also envy their women in some ways

Envy is an evil trait that eats up a relationship slowly.

Yeah, if she is a witch

Well NO..if we are spending the money together.

The question should be, should a wife be envious of her husband?

The human form is capable of anything but what marks the difference is the willingness to do them.

The woman in question sounds pretty like some who'd rather fend for the man and brag about it later. So much for marriage and its concept of oneness.

bad madam kenan

yes and vice versa

Only a F.O.O.L.I.S.H woman will do so.

What would be the point of her envy?

It is highly unlikely. And in any case, why would she? He is hers, and she is his. Why would you envy what is already yours. The thought of that itself is laughable.

Hell No

Ok
