Do you sometimes feel envious of other couples you see?

Well we know that our relationships are not perfect. But we all have an idea as to how it is going, and everyday we see couples in the streets, or even our couple friends, or our friends and their partners...
Have you ever felt envious or jealous of their relationship? Like you see how the guy cares for the woman, how happy she looked to be with him and how great a lover she must be...
Did you ever find yourselves envying them...?

I sometimes do especially way back when I was new with my breakup. I was alone during Valentines Day that I almost cried when I see couples holding hands and flowers all over the place. There are even times that in the back of my mind, I say "you'll gonna separate soon" but that was when I'm still bitter with what happened to me and my failed relationship.
Now, I still miss the feeling of being with someone. Someone whom you can hold hands with, etc but I'm not bitter :P I feel happy when I see happy couples especially if the couple are my friends. I miss the companion but not to the point that I envy them

I've felt jealous for other couples in time periods that I didn't have a relationship and I was feeling lonely. Now I think it's very sweet when I see happy couples that take care of each other.
The way I see other people in a relationship depends on how I am with myself, if I am satisfied or not.

Well I guess for most girls they do feel like that. But for a guy like me, I have no time to feel jealous about.
I do believe that there is no point to feel jealous anymore since they have their own lives their own problems and issues in life. It is all the same for me just wrapped differently so why would I feel jealous since I have my own plus and minuses to deal with and I need to focus and work on. I think that is much more important than think of "how I wish I have them too" mentality.

Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't because I know I don't have to be jealous of that couple because I have with me my boyfriend. I even feel so blessed because I have him. He loves me so much. On the other hand, I sometimes feel envy when I see couple so loving and caring for each other only during we have small fights with my boyfriend or when I miss him.

Now that i think about it, I don't really think this is my situation. I feel happy and in love most of the times when we are together (the other times i usually feel...normal :P), i love kissing him softly, i love holding his hand nd doing all kinds of things to make him happy. And he does the same! So i hope other people look at us and envy us!

I have to admit that I do have this type of feeling. For example, when my friends or classments told me that they would marry, I felt happy first, then sad and then a bit jealous. At first I was angried at my reaction and couldn't accept this. But how to say? It is my true feeling, I can't just deny it or ignore this feeling. And I guess the real reason I feel envious is that I wish I could have a happy relationship too.

In my situation, sometimes I do feel envious with the happy couples I see. My husband is working in different country and when I see couples who are happy together, I remember my husband and start to miss him and hope we can be together soon =(

If I see a beautiful couple with all their stars aligned, then yes, I would be rather envious of their strong bond as I have not had any seriously close relationships in some time now! It is amazing to see close couples and I'm happy for them but I'm also kind of jealous because I would want a relationship similar to their's!

Initially, when I used to see a couple, holding hands, looking happy and all that, it would make me smile. Its good to see that two people have found true love.
Then a phase came, where I was in distance relationship. That was the time when I used to get jealous of the couples who are together. It would just remind me of my love, and make me sad.
I still am in the same distance relation. But now I now, that what I have with my love is so special, even if we are not together. I wont trade it with anything. So I am back to what I used to feel. I smile when I see a happy couple. :)

Yeah, I sometimes feel that. My boyfriend is working in Korea and I'm currently in the Philippines. Long distance relationship makes me feel envious at some point. On the lighter side, I'm happy and blessed with my relationship today even though we are apart. There's facebook so there's no problem in communicating. ^_^

I used to be this way when I was single but now that I am in a committed relationship, it does not seem to bother me b/c I know I have that now and I hope someone is not envious on us rather than happy for us.
