My therapist is single and I'm married, so... I'm not jealous of that aspect. Both of us have complex family situations, so while I sometimes idly wish I were part of hers, I never really get jealous. Where I feel a little passing jealousy is when I see she's meeting with other clients. Then I have to remind myself what a good thing that is, for them and her, and how having multiple relationships doesn't decrease the good in each one, because my jealousy makes me reason at about the eight year old level, lol!
Okay, I do also occasionally envy her quiet lifestyle: she's semi-retired and I'm working 60 hours a week, in college full time, with a young child and husband, so... yeah, I envy the relaxed pace of her life, ha.
