Just to rant .. Sometimes I feel that maybe I shouldn't browse through Facebook Too much. I often think that other people's lives are so much better than mine ; I know I shouldn't feel this way but i should be grateful for all that I have but I jus can't help but feel that Way:( For example , I saw on Facebook that my fren's hubby bought her flowers on Mother's Day to thank her for taking care of the children. My heart was discouraged when I didn't receive such appreciation from my hubby . Or their kids surprised their Mom with some Mother's Day gift .. sigh .. I know it is not healthy to compare but I jus can't help feeling this way whenever I browse through Facebook. Anybody feel the same way as I do ? Or am I the odd one out?

Just tell your husband what you want. In my younger days, I always felt that it's nice to be surprised occasionally with flowers or gifts (without me asking directly) but I end up in disappointment when I don't get them. So, why make yourself miserable? These days, I just tell my man what I want. For example, in my recent birthday, I reminded my husband that this year I don't want gerberras. Would prefer some other flowers instead. I even gave him the discount codes for a few florists! Haha! End of day, I got what I want, which is a mixed bouquet of lilies and roses. I'm happy and my man felt good cos he made the wife happy. Bottom line is, don't expect men to read your mind. Tell him what you want (within his means, of course) and I'm sure the jealous situation will get better. Alternatively, you can choose to unfollow some of the friends' news feed if you think you are going to be affected by what they post. Good luck.
