Friend asks me out of the blue:

"So Ari, how do you feel about your brother's engagement?"

To which I reply, quite honestly:

"I think it's great, I'm really happy for him."

"Oh, good. You're not jealous, I was pretty sure you would be."

Excuse me?

Well, I'm pretty sure I would have felt jealous in your shoes, or possibly awkward or inadequate.

But that's different from assuming you'd feel jealous, and damn but that's an incredibly tacky way of phrasing it, too.
