I'm probably not good enough for him

Watch it. Now, I don't know if I'm allowed to use tough love in this sub, or if I'm allowed to use colorful language or whatever. But watch your goddamn mouth. You remind me of my ex-boyfriend, who was CONVINCED that I deserved something more, and he was CONVINCED that he couldn't give me what I needed.

Yeah, he died on me. Suicide. Said it was better for me in the long run, said that I'd be better off. Said that I deserved the chance to find someone better.

Bitch, I do not want someone better. I want you, fucker. Why do you think I fell in love with you in the first goddamn place?

He never could believe that I loved him for who he was, for everything that he was, including all of his negative traits. And yeah, he had them. He was a selfish prick. But I loved him. And we had a goddamned good thing going, even if he didn't see that.

Don't you dare do him the disservice of even imagining that you aren't good enough. If you weren't good enough, he wouldn't have chosen you. If you weren't good enough he wouldn't want you. Maybe you're allowed to have poor self esteem. Nobody can tell you otherwise - that's something that comes only from you. But that means that you can't tell him what he wants, either.

You call yourself unattractive? Cool. Then he's allowed to call you beautiful. And don't you dare try and rob him of that, because you might be everything he's ever wanted.

Sorry for my passion, this sort of subject is still really close to me. And I've probably misread the situation entirely. But that's what I have to say. You do NOT get to decide whether or not you're good enough for him. Only he gets to decide that. Don't let your self-esteem get in the way of his dreams.

And yeah, depending on the situation, you might be his dream. Maybe you just can't see it that way.
