We have been together for 3 years. We are both into fitness. I am more physically fit and have a better physique, whereas his body is still a work in progress.
The other day we were watching a show where a guy said to his girlfriend that he's punching, so it led me to ask my boyfriend if he thinks he's punching. He said that actually I'm the one punching, being very serious and not joking. I asked him to elaborate. He said he doesn't mean only looks, but everything else also like personality, success etc. But he did state that he thinks he is better looking than me.
I kind of regret asking, because I can't lie that I'm not hurt. Not to toot my own horn, but I don't think I'm bad looking as I look after my looks and my health, and I'm a really kind hearted person and I think I'm interesting. In terms of success though, he is a lot more successful than me in his career and he rubs that in my face a lot. He is older, so that also plays a factor, as I only just graduated and he has been working for 3 years. It was just a bit upsetting to hear that my boyfriend basically thinks he's better than me.
I've never heard him say that he's lucky to have me, ever. When I once told him that a guy the cable guy that came to our house said that I was attractive and that he'd sleep with me, he did not believe me.
I know this is a bit of a shallow post and I don't think we should be making comparisons about who's better, etc, but I couldn't believe that he thinks he said I'm punching above my weight in every way. I don't get why he's with me if he thinks he's better and hotter. It's not good for my self esteem if my boyfriend doesn't think he's lucky to have me. It's nice when guys say they are lucky to be with their girlfriend or that they're punching as their girlfriend is beautiful. He doesn't ever compliment me.
I don't know if I'm overreacting.
TL;Dr: boyfriend said that I'm punching way above my weight in every way and it made me feel a bit upset.
