RedIvy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey there. I'm dealing with self-esteem and distorted body image issues. Have been for a while. I have a great boyfriend. I'm madly in love with him, and he's in love with me. However, I get so jealous when he looks at other girls...even though I know it's human nature and I do it too...But I always feel so ugly when he does. Hell, I can't even watch a movie with him that has hot actresses in it because I know he's looking and I feel he'd want me to look like them. Can anyone help me get this horrid perception out of my head?! Link to post Share on other sites
Philosoraptor Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Most people still find other people attractive while in a relationship. Just because someone else might be appealing it doesn't mean they are more appealing then you are to your boyfriend. You two have history and shared feelings and these other women are just pretty bodies that he doesn't have an emotional attachment to. Link to post Share on other sites
Dooda Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 What Philosoraptor said. You are not self-destructive, you just have self-esteem issues. There's nothing wrong with that. Start by forgiving yourself. Its normal that he looks at other ladies, but just remember that the fact that he has stayed loyal to you should say enough. You can't be a beauty queen. 98 percent of the population isn't. 98 percent of the population are ugly, horrid human beings. Just joking. Link to post Share on other sites
