AIBU to be bothered by this?
DP works with a stunning young woman every day, they are basically partners at work. I don't want to give too much away but she had a bit of a public profile for being a stunning sex symbol. She has a bombshell figure and a huge fan following.
I trust DP completely so can't quite put my finger on the problem or why I feel the way I do. I hate seeing photos of them together and although I would normally have decent self esteem feel like he can't help but find me lacking in appearance after spending all day with this girl. I'm just normal, I can look good when I make an effort but nothing like her and they are together all the time and get on like a house on fire. I have never met her. There are always comments from him typical to this: X had been offered thousands of pounds to do this/ I was having a coffee with X today and this person was checking her out...
As I say, I don't have suspicions that DP would do anything, it's more that it just affects my self esteem as how can he spend all day most days with this person and then come home to me. Even when you know your partner loves you you want to feel like you're very attractive to them and basically I just feel I can't compete. How can I get over this issue?
PS I don't think DP knows I feel like this, I tend to just brush it off and change the subject when she comes up.
