Have you ever been in a relationship and didn't feel like your partner deserved you?

[Anonymous]

At times, some of the things my partner does, or says leads me to believe that they aren't deserving of what I bring to the table. I'm just wondering if there's anyone else that's been in a similar situation, and opening this up for any advice you may have.

The last guy I dated wasn’t very nice and I outmatched him in many ways - like I got straight As and his GPA was much lower. And I was super confident and he was insecure. My family had money and his family was broke.

Yeah but I had to figure out why I felt that way. I was putting too many restrictions on myself out of fear of being hurt

Care to explain

Well he was hurting me but I was already pulling back because I been hurt so many times and treated so horribly people in life not just by men. I was scared to let him love me while being paranoid of the cheating from the flirting. I was placing restrictions on letting him completely love me because I felt not wanted by him, abandoned, and just the girl that was there for him.
