A great example of that is the sentence: “I have to be careful around women, my wife gets really jealous.” In that sentence jealousy and envy are clearly not interchangeable. To use envy would imply that the wife wishes she were the one spending time with other women.

The first thing you describe isn’t jealousy. It’s being annoyed at your inconsiderate fuckwad of a friend who doesn’t understand that maybe you should check with you before bringing a new personality into the mixture.

This is the correct take. I understand that having minuscule variations in usage among synonyms can make some people feel nervous or insecure about their own diction, and that, as long as you can get the general point across, it’s okay to use the words you want. I hate how, every time I note a small variation in…
