I’m confused, why would you be jealous here? Aren’t you and your wife “life partners” so to speak? That means understanding what money means to each person, understanding your partner’s money goals, and working towards shared financial goal.

Honestly, it sounds like you two need to have a heart to heart on this and figure it out, because frankly, you’re behind the curve on this. And if it’s not going well you should seek counseling. It’s important for a couple to be on the same page regarding money.

Jealousy happens because of our lizard brains. I get “jealous” of my wife sometimes because she doesn’t work and I have to work. She gets to enjoy her hobbies and volunteer work.

Now, intellectually, I know this is stupid. I had to convince her to quit working post Covid. We don’t need the money. I like my job and I couldn’t just have her travel with me when I go out of town for business if she were still working. We definitely couldn’t embark on the digital nomad thing we are doing later this year.

She would go back to work tomorrow if we needed it.
