person A: My wife just got a promotion and a 10% raise. I should be ecstatic for what this means for our family and financial future_comma_ but it's hard to not let my selfishness and ego get in the way_comma_ and think about how she's been more successful than me. We're currently in the same industry.
person B: Maybe you can observe what she's doing and use that to advance in the industry as well.
person A: That's a fair point. But we do different jobs_comma_ just in the same industry. So I couldn't necessarily learn from her_comma_ but she's close enough to what I do_comma_ that I still subconsciously compare ourselves_comma_ even though I shouldn't. I know this will all pass in a few days_comma_ hopefully. But in the meantime_comma_ I hate that I have to actively not be passive aggressive towards her_comma_ when I should just be happy.
person B: I'd be worried about having these kinds of feelings towards your wife.
