A woman expresses deep jealousy towards her husband's former colleague, Ann, who is younger and more socially adept. Despite having a strong, supportive relationship with her husband, feelings of inadequacy and fear of abandonment lead to anxiety and jealousy over Ann, spotlighted by her husband's kind comparisons. After he changed jobs, the husband acknowledged these feelings by agreeing to limit contact with Ann. Nevertheless, the jealousy persists, causing emotional distress and arguments. The woman seeks strategies to overcome these feelings and restore peace within her marriage.
I can't compete with her: she is young, beautiful, funny, extrovert. I felt anxious and scared that he'd leave me for her, which led to arguments.
He changed jobs and doesn't see her daily anymore. He's considerate of my anxiety, always honesty about running into her, but jealousy still overwhelms me.
