RomanSunburn:

I would agree 100%. I do feel that as successful as she is, she has self esteem issues.

There have been times in the past, that she has done things that make me surprised. We've talked about them, and she'll reflect and understand better after... This is why she often tells me that I understand her and that I'm good for her in that way.

And yes, this is one of my feelings as well... She can't love others as she does not fully love herself.

You know, when I tell her how proud I am of her in her mother hood advances and her success at work, she tells me thank you, nobody has ever acknowledged this verbally with me before. That's really sad.

I believe that I'm great for her that way

In the everyday, parenting, work, schooling, sex... we're really perfect. It's just this dark cloud that keeps us from moving on. I'm not perfect either... I'm an emotionally effected guy...

Thanks
