Dealing With Jealousy, Turning Down Men & 'Crazy Cat Lady' Comments

This week in the Dear Clementine inbox: My sister in law is hot. She’s also kind, intelligent, funny and interesting. I really like her as a person but I’m also jealous of how perfect she is. Every time I compare myself to her, I feel terrible about myself. Do you have any strategies for dealing with this type of jealousy?   Can you please unwind the attitude behind men posturing themselves as victims when they do not obtain sex from women they pursuit, even if that pursuit was never welcome, warranted or met by the woman?  I'm a single woman in my late 30s. Since getting divorced a few years ago, I feel content right down to my core. As time goes by however, I'm getting more and more 'crazy cat lady' comments. I feel that I am so much more than my relationship status and a woman who loves cats, but these comments still get under my skin. Do you have any advice on how to respond or manage my feelings?  If you have a question for Clementine, send her an email at [email protected] CREDITSExecutive Producer: Edwina StottAudio Production: Adrian WaltonManaging Producer: Elle Beattie For more great Nova Podcasts head to novapodcasts.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
