Does anyone else feel jealous when their SO spends excessive amounts of time with family? I come from a relatively broken home, and especially during the holidays, going to my SO’s perfect family dinners with colour coordinated place settings and name tags feels overwhelming. And I can’t help but feel jealous that he has spent the last 3 days with them constantly, he also lives with his parents anyway, and he won’t attend a christmas party with me today because of more family time. I’m jealous that I don’t have that kind of relationship with my own family, that he’s going to hang out with them instead of me tonight, and I also absolutely can’t wrap my head around family being a priority. 

I’m not being toxic or overly jealous, its just a sad little pang in my stomach. I’d like to know how to overcome jealousy if anyone has tips. I know its a priority of his and I don’t want to change that
