My (29f) younger sister (26F) is moving in with her boyfriend. They both live in nyc which is actually where I used to live. I moved out of the city at the same time my sister moved there about two years ago. At the time, she had just broken up with her bf (same guy…who actually cheated on her a couple times but has been a good bf ever since as far as I’m aware) and wanted to start fresh. She was there about two months before the bf apologized and ended up following her to nyc. For clarity, sister and her bf have lived separately until now.
I left nyc for a number of reasons back then…one being that I was having a miserable time finding love. All I wanted was to meet someone great, fall in love, move into a great downtown apartment and continue kicking ass at my Wall Street job. But that never happened. Now I’m living in a smaller city and I’m pretty lonely. I still haven’t had much luck with dating either. I hadn’t really missed my old nyc life much until now. My sister just texted to say her and her bf got approved for their dream apartment. I should be happy for them but I can’t help feeling like she’s obtaining the life I dreamt up for myself. Life is not turning out the way I thought it would for me so I’ve been pretty depressed for months. Now I can add jealousy to the list of negative emotions I’ve been having lately. I can’t really vent about this to anyone I know because my family/friends wouldn’t want to hear this. I know this is my issue and not theirs and that I have to get past this, but right now I’m feeling shitty.
Am I crazy for feeling this way?
