My boyfriend is really good-looking, so much so he literally turns heads when he walks in a room. I’m flattered that of all the beautiful women in the world, he saw beyond beauty (I’m not a supermodel) and chose to be with someone who he really connects with on many levels. The problem is the daggers that come flying my way from every woman after they’ve checked him out.
I feel like I have to don some serious body armour every time we leave the house. And in all honesty, it affects my confidence, and my confidence in our relationship. Help! You are not the bit on the side, as you refer to yourself.
You are the main course in the middle of his plate! He chose you because he loves you, and in his eyes, you are the most beautiful woman in the room. Instead of shrinking under the weight of that body armour, gain strength through its strength, for you’re the one building it in the first place. Walk tall and proud beside your man.
You chose him because you love what’s behind that gorgeous face. Here’s another trick: before you head out somewhere where you think these feelings will arise, for example a party, get intimate with your man. Nothing brings two people closer than the act of making love.
When you head out, you’ll notice you hold each other closer. My daughter is 23 and has moved back home after graduating university. We’ve rearranged things in the home, but she has her own bedroom and a washroom no one else uses, though it’s not specifically hers.
Her roo.
