conv: My husbands brother was getting married.  My husband was bestman so I wanted to get the most perfect dress.  I spent weeks searching online and in the shops.  I finally found it_comma_ tried it on and fell in love with it but couldnt buy it as I didnt get paid until the following week.  The next day my husbands sister called in to see me. She had been shopping and had also found the perfect dress for the wedding.  She took it out and showed it to me and I nearly dropped with shock. It was the exact same dress.  If jealousy could kill she would have been dead on the spot! My husbands brother was getting married.  I searched online and in every shop to find the perfect dress.  I finally found it_comma_ tried it on and loved it.  I couldnt buy it until the following week as I had to wait to payday so I left it over in the store.  The next day my sister in law called in.  She had been shopping and had also found the perfect dress.  She took it out of the bag to show me and I discovered it was the same dress!! Couldnt believe it.  Oh how I resented her at that moment. That's very intense. I am sorry you had to experience that. Oh if envy could kill - she would have been dead on the spot.  Needless to say I got over it and found another dress but just at that moment on that day... That's good. Time heals all wounds and can be a powerful cure to pain and disdain. Indeed.  I had to take a reality check.  Afterall the day wasnt about me_comma_ it was about the bride and groom lol.
