Unfortunately some women just dump their female friends when they find a man. That's my guess about why she let your friendship drop, then wanted to get back together once she was single.

Also I think it's completely possible some women would be jealous that your husband supports you financially, even if he's a jerk in some ways. In many jobs the work is exhausting and stressful, so it might seem nice to be "taken care of."

Right now I'm on disability leave from my job, and some people even seem jealous of that! Psychological conditions aren't "real" to some people so I guess they think I'm on a kind of vacation. Once years ago when I was on leave during the summer, my sister-in-law said "Well it must be nice to have the summer off!"

A lot of people hate their jobs so it's not surprising they would be jealous of not working. I guess I disagree with others' comments as far as jealousy - the "green demon" is common. Obviously people with rewarding careers who love their jobs wouldn't be jealous of someone not working. But other people might. Yet they would not want a disability. It makes little sense.
