my wife just got a promotion and a raise. i should be ecstatic for what this means for our family and financial future, but it is hard to not let my selfishness and ego get in the way, and think about how she is been more successful than me. we are currently in the same industry.
that is a fair point. but we do different jobs, just in the same industry. so i could not necessarily learn from her, but she is close enough to what i do, that i still subconsciously compare ourselves, even though i should not. i know this will all pass in a few days, hopefully. but in the meantime, i hate that i have to actively not be passive aggressive towards her, when i should just be happy.
maybe you can observe what she is doing and use that to advance in the industry as well.
