Is it normal to feel "not good enough for her"

My girlfriend and I are getting pretty serious yet we both suffer from the fear that we aren't good enough for each other.

Whilst I don't actually mind that I feel like I am incredibly lucky to have her, I am a bit worried that the feelings I have that I'm not good enough for her and similarly her feelings that she isn't good enough for me might cause problems later on..

I just wanted to know is it normal to feel like
you aren't good enough for someone and is it healthy?

Is It Normal?

  • Everyone has doubt in a relationship and yours is clearly coming out. I am willing to bet that others have put you down quite a bit in the past and for that I am truly sorry. However, people will like you for who you are. Even Hitler had a girlfriend during his rule and they seemed happy.

    You are fine and just be you. If you are true to her as well as yourself, than you two will be happy with the other. Just put her before you but DO NOT LOSE WHO YOU ARE and stick with what brings joy to your day.

    I think you two are fine.

  • You sound a lot like me and my boyfreinds relation that we are going through. When I started going out we weren't serious until three months in our relationship. I wounder till this day if he is loves me the way the way I do. We are honest with one another and we do a lot of things together. We work as a team and if there was something on our minds about our relationship we ask one another. It's okay to think what about how your relationship is going out there but you have to ask youself this question Are you happy with her? I have to ask the same question to my boyfriend everyday and the answer is always the same... YES. Talk about your feelings and ask if they are the same back. If she is faithful to you then don't let her go. There are few of them out there who are not and can back stab you in a heart beat. I always say that there are plenty fish in the sea but sometime the first catch can be the rarest of them all.

  • well, pollito23 is correct. i am very insecure with myself and never feel like i am good enough to keep my boyfriend interested or happy. sometimes, i will take his being nice to a female friend as flirting and it becomes a huge fight. i think you two should sit down and have a serious talk. with you both being so insecure, it will create double the problems, so have a really good, serious talk about this. and joolian, why would you say that? he just got done saying he doesn't feel like he's good enough and you tell him that his girlfriend is cheating on him? what the hell is wrong with people now a days.

  • Has she told you that herself that she doesnt feel she is good enough for you? if so, then she is cheating on you

  • i think you both must be really nice people and it shouldnt cause any problems. there must be alot you admire about each other and so there has got to be alot of potential in that.
    you should try and make sure she knows you think she is good enough for you - be appreciative of things she does to help you and compliment her/tell her all the things that are amazing about her. and vice versa. obviously you are both great people and perfectly good enough for each other. im sure youre not the same but all your different strengths can compliment each other and make a great relationship. :)
