Sister in law/new marriage

I'm kind of down today. My sister-in-law (husband's sister) got married yesterday (2nd marriage). We've known each other since high school, not really good friends but just have things in common. Her first marriage lasted about 7-8 years and she was really immature when she got married. Her parents were so overly involved in her marriage (which she allowed) and things got bad. The divorce was bad and it took her about 3-4 years to really get over it. Over the last 9 years she's really grown up (she's a year older than me 35) and found a great guy. His job is in Austrailia for the next 2 years and so they are moving there. I'm so happy for her and wish them all the best. I'm glad to see her get away from her parents. I think that there is a bit of jealousy because he makes alot of money and she won't have to work if she doesn't want to. But I'm sad because my own marriage sucks. Things haven't been good for about 4 years (married 10 years). I know, I know... that I'm in charge of my own happiness and if something isn't working for me then I need to change. Easier said than done. Sorry to complain but just needed to get it out.

Sorry to hear it Kim. Hang in there and do something just for you that makes you happy. Are you unhappy in your marriage because of money issues or is it more than that? Have you tried counseling?
 
Kim - I don't like to give out too many personal details on the board, so I'm not going to mention anything about me relative to this situation, but I will say that I totally sympathize with you and would give you a hug if I could. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to.
