Do you sometimes feel like you're boyfriend doesn't deserve you...Upon realizing what I'm depriving my boyfriend of,I have this feeling that I'm not good for him...I'm so not like his past girlfriends and I feel kind of uneasy with that fact...I seem to feel like I don't make him happy...But I really love him... :(

hi bian! i am not sure what you are depriving your boyfriend of. but in any case, you can try improving on yourself...this relationship of yours should bring the best in you. but if this relationship forces you to abort your morals for the sake of your partner's selfish interests, then it is not worth it. restrain yourself and act with wisdom. love has its boundaries and responsibilities. take care and God bless you! :-)

Our relationship has indeed brought out the best in me...He's changed many of my negative attitudes,there's no questioning about that...The reason why I'm feeling that I deprive of some privileges is because I feel that I'm a selfish jerk always feeling jealous of his band...The only reason why I'm jealous is because I want to be there for him and support him but I can't because my Dad isn't an easy man to get along with...Even I am having problems with him because he doesn't speak his mind to us...He also seem to dislike my boyfriend.My boyfriend is a nice guy and I feel guilty for him...He has made a lot of sacrifices for this relationship and I want to repay that effort...But,unless I'm still living with my Dad,I'm really cautious of every action I make.I know my boyfriend tries to understand our situation but I feel that there are times when he really feels sad because of this...I just hope he still has enough patience 'cause in two years time,I'm gonna be able to finish my college and live on my own. Thanks for the advice!

What has he done to cause you to feel this way? If nothing then you need to stop worrying and stop camparing yourself to his past girlfriends. If he has done something to cause you to feel this way then you need to talk to him about it and get it out in the open. either way you should never compare yourself to a pst friend in any relationship. Remember he is with you now and not her.

Actually,he's done nothing to make me feel this way...I just feel sad because my Dad doesn't treat him nicely and I feel bad for him...Unlike his past girlfriends--their families welcomed him with open arms..I know I'm giving him a hard time and it really saddens me...Because of my Dad's bad attitude towards him,there are times where I can't be there to support him in his gigs...I know his craft means a lot to him and I really feel terrible for not being there for him.I can't argue with my Dad because we're living under one roof and I respect him...My boyfriend's a nice guy,but knowing my Dad,I know he's just being protective...Thanks for the advice!

I think everyone feels self conscious about things like that. Personally, I feel pretty self-conscious about everything. I'm a student who constantly worries that she isn't good enough, a daughter who never feels like she's meeting all expectations, and a girlfriend who's struggling against the odds to make a long distance relationship work. (He had to move due to his job.) Life is nothing but trials, and though I know that in the past my guy has had girlfriends that he has been positively mad for that he was really hurt by the loss of... I know that right now he has me, and if I become one of those people in the future then I guess it's going to happen. I don't live my life today with any expectations for forever. I'd like forever to happen, but if not, I'm not going to think that it's my fault. You can only do what you think is best for you, and best for him. If it's really worrying you, maybe you should talk to him about it. He might not be too keen on talking about exes, but if there is something that he feels you could be doing and you think you're not doing everything you could, maybe actually asking is what you need to do.
