My fiancee is a serious computer geek- he's extremely talented with computers and software, far beyond anyone I know. Today I discovered something interesting, though- I have more experience and talent using the program Adobe Photoshop, and was lightly teasing him about it earlier. This evening, he made it a point to showcase the photoshop talents of someone he used to know who uses the program for web design and other things, pointing out the detail and emphasizing how "she did it all herself". I'm curious- do you think he did that to "win" by association? Is it because he knows someone more talented than I it somehow makes up for the fact that he isn't? I ask because the showcase made me feel rather small- there are precious few things that I am better at than he, and everytime I discover one, he seems to do something similar to this episode. Is he being malicious and trying to bring me down, or is he just trying to save his own ego?
