Does anyone else date someone that is sort of the opposite from you in terms of personality and interests? Lately my issues have been flaring up internally and I've been hating myself. I'll meet someone that is practically the female carbon copy versions of my partner and think,man why is he with me? Imagine how much more fun he'd have if he was with them instead. They'd hit it off better because they act the same and like the same things.

My partner and I do like a few similar interests but we don't talk that much about them. I told him how I felt about this and he tried to reassure me saying that isn't how it works for him and that he's with me for a reason at the end of the day but it still hurts internally whenever I meet someone that I think would be better for him,than me. This could also come from a place of extreme low self esteem and I feel that no matter what I'm like or what I do it'll never be enough/be enough for my partner (due to having dated past sociopaths.)
