how do you deal with your man being "better than you" ????????
I feel like compared to him - I'm nothing and couldn't ever be anything.
Like he's mr. perfect. and I'm so far from perfect it's not funny. How to I accept and deal with this situation?? Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks :)

But if this is just coming from you, and you just don't feel you measure up, even though he's never said he feels you don't, then maybe you should think long and hard about being in a relationship. If the problem is just your insecurity about not measuring up, maybe you should take some time alone to examine why you feel so bad about yourself and what you need to do to increase your self esteem. If you are insecure, nothing your man says or does can change that. If he compliments you, you won't believe it. And if you continue to say you're not good enough he may eventually start to believe it himself.
Most women I know who have felt this way never really took time to get to know themselves before jumping into serious relationships. They went from serious high school crushes to college relationships to full blown adult committments without once ever taking time to make sure they showed the same love they were giving these men to themselves. If this is your case, take some time to love yourself. Step back from relationships and take the time to learn what makes you special and unique and beautiful. And know that if he was attracted to you and chose to be with you, there's something he sees that makes you just as worthy of his love as he is of yours.
