During arguments or if the topic comes up, my girlfriend will call me a twig or insult my hairline. Today, I let her know how frustrating it is that she openly acts like she’s too attractive for me or that I’m lucky to have her. She responds by saying: “Well, if everyone told you you were more attractive than me, you’d feel the same way. When I showed coworkers at my last two places of work your picture, they laughed and acted confused. They clearly thought I could do better”.
I’m not a twig. I’m 6’0”, 170LB with low body fat. I’m just not massively jacked. I know that a bodybuilder was talking to her in the past, so she probably considers anyone not absolutely jacked skinny.
We have been together for 2.5 years and live together 5 hours away from home. I want to get past it (she agreed to stop saying these things to me), but I don’t know if I can. I can’t just hang out in relaxed fashion with her anymore because I’m always thinking about these things. I feel so bad about myself knowing she thinks I’m a twig and that I’m lucky to have her. How would you all feel?
TLDR: GF told me she thinks she’s out of my league and that I’m a twig.
