I always feel like I'll never be as good as she is, and he will say that no one is as good as she is so that makes me feel bad as his wife. Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion though but that's how I feel

give it some time, he'll come around. right now the wound is still fresh. a year is not really a long time, in time he will learn to lean on you. try not to give him a hard time about all this and he will appreciate that and love you even more. I do find it a little odd that he has his mother on a pedestal like that, but that's just me & in all fairness i have never been that close with my parents, so i'm no authority on how someone should revere their parents, but i can respect where he's coming from, hope this helps
