Jealous/envious of girlfriend studying abroad? - FSBB - 04-28-2014 06:55 PM
About a month before she left, I got into a relationship with a girl who is studying abroad. She left like 3 weeks ago and is there for about two more months.
Long story short, I am jealous. What she is doing is AMAZING. She is doing more than once-in-a-lifetime stuff. I've always dreamed of traveling, of going on an airplane, of leaving the country, and doing the activities she is doing. Haven't been on a vacation in years. Have stayed in the same place my whole life due to finances, health, and family issues (I'm only 20 and still got time but still I have school to pay for).
While I am SUPER happy she is having fun, it's tough for me to see her post and talk on Facebook about the amazing things she is doing. I can't even compare. As soon as school ends, I gotta work full time. I suppose it hurts because she is literally living my dream and doing things I've always wanted to do for my whole life in a matter of a couple months and it's right in front of my eyes, but I have never gotten the opportunity and maybe never will.
I know it's childish but how do I get out of this mindset? It's tough when every weekend you see pics of her skydiving and stuff like that.

Give her the freedom to spread her wings. Id you act jealous or something it will rain on her parade and you will split up... Good luck to you.
