Yes, I have insecurity issues and I am trying to get past that.
What would you do if your partners ex is way hotter than you?
She is an ex for a reason. Dont dump him for such a silly reason. Trust me he doesn't care about his ex anymore.
This has been a huge problem for me. One of my ex-girlfriends is a model.
When, I entered into a new relationship that girl always felt like I would never find her as sexy.
Tbh she wasn't, but she was better in every other way, she was cuter, sweeter, more genuine, more enjoyable, less confrontational, etc. She made me so much happier.
So what I did after that relationship was scrub all my history/social media. The only girl I still have photos of is my first girlfriend because of prom.
He should have never mentioned exes and scrubbed his history
1. Your profile photo is quite fetching!
2. I would keep reminding myself, "There is a reason why he is not with her any more." And I would remind myself that one of things that attracts you is that he is NOT a shallow guy.
3. Appearance will certainly attract a guy but, by itself, it will not keep many guys in the relationship. In fact, guys have an expression, "For very good looking girl walking down the street, there is a guy somewhere who is tired of putting up with her shit!"
I would not care. My main concern would be if he had sex with her or not since I do not believe in premarital sex. The point is if you have these issues, should you really be dating knowing you have these problems? It is not a competition. As long as he removed everything of her, and her contacts, you have nothing to worry about. If he haven't then think about leaving/ But this is why you NEVER become exclusive or date without knowing this first. Because you can't force him into your mold.
Oof that's a tough one. Thank God it wasn't the case with me. But honestly, you have to see it this way. You might think she looks hotter than you but your boyfriend probably doesn't. I mean, he is with you right now, not with her. Something must have happened for them to break up and then he chose to be with you. So that means you are already way better than her in many ways, not only beauty wise. Don't leave him over that. He wants to be with you, not with her. He chose YOU.
I know a guy who became engaged to a mediocre woman with no job when his ex-girlfriend had six Louis Vuitton bags that she paid for herself with her investment job. His ex also looked like a super model and was super charming too and she was a virgin. Some guys just want what they can get and don't require perfection or maximum excitement.
Wooow id love to get into his mindset with that one

You are not in competition with an EX!
After all: he now prefers YOU over HER. This will have a good reason.
'Hotness' is not the ONLY factor that makes a relationship work.
I am not 'impressive' myself - and my girl could indeed have chances with more optically desirable men - but I'm not nervous at all: if she's smart (and she IS...) ---> she will stay with ME ;)
I have faith in the fact that input equals output... as long as we choose the 'right' person as partner.
That now will be YOUR mission: 'Is your guy the 'right' person? If so: feel safe.
Try basing your value as a person on other things than sexiness such as compassion for others, trustworthiness, humor, reliability, intellect, maturity, emotional self awareness, just a few examples
I know, I just can't help but sort of feel it
Please believe me I understand but don't underestimate yourself too quickly there are reason why he is with you and no longer with her. If u really start to let it get the better of you there is no harm in asking him to tell you what those reasons are
Maybe she's sexier/hotter but you might be cuter.
I'm a guy and I'm average looking but I've always been the guy to date really attractive girls all my life I've been lucky like that.
Enter my fiancee she's super cute and kind and I just honestly feel hard as fuck for her. She the only one that's given me butterflies and stupid shit like that.
She's on the skinny end but she's hot as fuck in my opinion and she keeps feeling insecure cause my ex is a babe but my current is also a babe in her own way.
So he might think you're both hot but you're the one see? If she was the favorite she'd still be in your shoes. He saw something wrong in her so he upgraded to a better fit for him.
Lol really? If I dated someone and found out their ex was more attractive than me I'd feel like. . . well first of all that I'm more attractive than I thought. And more importantly that maybe this person is deep enough to care about things other than looks
You think she’s hot but you’re not the one who’s dating her 😂. Maybe she farts all the time or has the iq of a horseshoe. Maybe they just didn’t have chemistry or wanted different things in life. The more extremely hot exes your man had the better because after all that he chose you. I personally get offended if my mans exes are ugly 😂😂😂
Everyone has a different idea what sexy is. I like women with freckles. Its definitely not everyone's idea of attractive but I think they're sexy as hell. Your boyfriend might think you're much more attractive than his ex. Everything is a matter of perception. I wouldn't worry about it.
Take the risk ! There is a reason he's he's wanting a relationship, maybe you are a much more beautiful woman than she is. She may be hot as hell, which judging by your profile picture I don't see where he would need to try to do any better than you!
But beauty is an all encompassing word. She may have been hot physically and NOT emotionally.
well ever thought that maybe she is in that position for a reason, remember that personality plays a big part, and other things like loyalty and traits and shit, if she is his ex then its for a reason, there's something he saw thats you have that she didn't. you'll be fine
Looks are like only 10% of the equation. Looks don't help you work out all the details of a relationship and they don't atone for coldness, rudeness, thoughtlessness, and so on. You have more to offer than you think.
I would do nothing. She’s his ex for a reason. Just because she’s pretty doesn’t mean she’s perfect. If he wanted her then he’d be with her, but instead he wants you. Just be happy and enjoy your relationship.
I will do nothing cause she is EX girlfriend and I am CURRENT girlfriend.
If i need to do anything I will be better one the way I am ( and not to compare to his ex girlfriend who can not be together with him)
I would definitely talk with my partner and let them know how I feel. Don’t try to carry that on your own.
Ex's are ex's for reasons. Concentrate more on why they broke up in the first place more than what she looks like. Insecurity, jealousy, cheating etc. whatever the reason he's with you now, so you've got something on her right there.
Who the hell cares if his ex looks like Megan Fox or Rosie O Donnell? That's his ex, a person no more in his life. You know who is in his life right now, you.
Give yourself some credit
how can you compete with someone he isn't even dating or interested in anymore?
that's nuts lol
There is nothing you can do. It's really difficult but try not to compete with her. It is not going to you any good. Think of things he might find attractive about you - it's not always about looks.
Well, I would assume he's dating you because he likes you. Either his ex broke it off, his ex gave him reason to break it off, or he likes you because you have something he wants that she didn't have.
Wait wait wait. he's with you so he likes something,,, dont worry about it your FINE
He's with you for a reason. It doesn't matter what's on the outside when the inside is utter garbage.
Always think that you have something that she doesn't and that's why he wants to be with you
I'd just be myself but my heart would sink abit. If I can't deal with it anymore I'd just forget it coz even if the ex is gorgeous, iv never really considered myself anything less than goodlooking
