First time poster so go easy please!
This might sound like a daft problem and I probably just need telling to sort myself out (!) but bear with me...
I have been with DP for 18 months and everything has been great. We own our own homes but see each other most nights after work and weekends. I get on brilliantly with his daughter, we're on the same page when it comes to sex, finances, work ethics, morals, family values etc. Everything just feels so easy with him.
The ONLY thing which plays on my mind is that, from what I know about his exes (one marriage and 2 LTR), he has only been with women who are either really wealthy (come from money) or have extremely well paid jobs so he has been used to living the high life. Just for clarity, he doesn't really talk about any of this but I knew him through work for a long time before we were a couple so I am aware of the life he's led, nice holidays, cars etc. I'm not sure how he ended up with these women btw as he's just a regular bloke and certainly not materialistic or money orientated!
By comparison I have a 2 bed terrace and work in a regular, ok-ish paid job. We both earn similar amounts of money (he used to earn a lot more but took a pay cut to get a better work / life balance). He helps me out a bit financially as we tends to stay at mine more than at his.
He tells me - and I know - that he is happier with me and more content than he ever has been in his life and never, ever compares or even talks about his previous relationships. If I ever I mention feeling bad about not being able to buy him something he tells me I'm being ridiculous and he wouldn't trade what he has now for anything. I know he's telling the truth but - I think it comes from growing up without money - I can't help feeling inferior to his exes and wanting to be able to buy him the things he has been used to before?!
I know I need to chill out and just be grateful for what I have and stop torturing myself! But how do I stop the comparisons?!
