Fed up of jealousy

Why do people fall out with you through jealousy, I don't know about you but if one of my friends or family are happy I'm happy for them. There has been times were I've been in a real shit place, on my own at Xmas maybe or in an abusive relationship and I've seen pictures on Facebook etc of them happy and yeh I've felt jealous I guess but I'm still happy for them and tell them so.

But so many people have fallen out with me when something good happens to me. I went through a really shit time with an ex boyfriend of mine he was threatening to kill me and my kids, I was a single mum no family around it was horrendous. Anyway I managed to get help and got myself out of the situation, fast forward a year I moved and actually managed to buy my own house, set up my own little business which became successful and I met someone new who 5 years later I'm about to marry! My best friend at the time fell out with me, she said all I cared about was money and status Hmm. I wondered why she went so quiet on me, she wouldn't speak to my new partner or come round my house. But I didn't judge her for living in a council house why would I and my house was only a small end of terrace house. I was so sad I lost a friend just because they couldn't stand me being happy.

When I moved in with my fiancé, his ex wife who he has dcs with, tried her very hardest to split us up and actually admitted it as she didn't want him to be happy Shock. It didn't work but it made things very hostile and difficult especially there being children involved.

Now I'm getting married, my sister is not in a good place and has decided she's not coming to my wedding and completely cut me off. Yet when I was in this abusive relationship she was really happy and going out everywhere whilst I was on the phone to woman's aid. I didn't hold it against her, I just did something about it and made my life better. I'm sick to death of being surrounded by jealousy it's not like I've had it easy ffs! I do have friends that are happy for me thankfully but what is it with people. Jealousy just seems to make them vindictive!!
