I'm probably far too old to be worrying about this but I am not my partner's type physically. At all. The opposite in fact and not in a good way.
I'm also completely different to them in terms of personality, character, level of education, career choice. Everything.
I'm really struggling with it, which is also very different to how they were. They were also very confident and self assured and I'm clearly not.
I just feel like all the time he's with me, he's not going to meet someone more his type. I see women who are his type all the time. He must do too.

I don't know - I have the same problem
DP has even said I'm different to people he has been out with previously - but he says I'm beautiful and he loves me but I still feel inferior - I imagine his friends wonder what he's doing with me. I'm bigger - think size 18-20 with boobs whereas his exw is tall and size 10 and an ex ballet dancer

I've met his significant exes.
I suppose I know what he finds attractive because he's told me. Lots of people share that sort of thing.
