Definition

吃干醋

Literally means:

drink dry vinegar

Actually means:

be the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts; be truly unselfish

干 in this phrase does not mean"dry", but refers to with no reason or out of nowhere.

This phrase figuratively means that one part of the a couple harbors an unreasonable jealousy towards a third party who has nothing to do with their love or marriage.

“干”不是“没有水分”的意思,而是“没有原因”。

吃干醋,比喻夫妻或恋人中的一方妒忌跟他们的爱情不相干的人,或没有道理地对跟他们的爱情毫不相干的人产生嫉妒的情绪。

Example

Used as predicate, object or attributive. It can also be used with other words in between. (作谓语、宾语、定语,中间可以插入别的词语)
