Envy

"I really envy you, " I said to this bloke who I'd been talking to in the pub.

"Envy me? " he replied, "have you been listening? I have kids I never see, I'm bankrupt, I have a drink and drug problem, been in and out of jail, what on Earth have I got that you can possibly want? "he said.

Spoiler:

"An ex-wife, " I answered.
