I’m in an almost year long relationship with someone I love to bits. It’s gone slowly in terms of meeting each other’s children and lockdown has slowed it further. He’s always treated me well and makes it clear how much he loves me but I keep finding myself comparing myself with his exes. He has had quite a lot of short term (few weeks) flings including a threesome relationship with women a good ten years younger than me. It’s ridiculous because he’s with me and seems to want a long term future but I keep worrying that I’m not enough for him somehow and I’m not sure how to get my confidence back. Having seen some of his exes on social media (they briefly chat from time to time on posts), a few are very good looking with amazing figures and I keep making comparisons.
Any advice on how to stop this would be a lifesaver as I hate the fact I do it. I just feel as if I’ve lost all of my confidence.
