I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and 9 months. I love him very much and I know he loves me too. The problem is that before we started dating I was in a very verbally abusive relationship. The guy pretty much ripped all of the self esteem that I have left to pieces. Now, I don't feel like I'm worth my now boyfriends time. I can't help but to feel that he's too good to be with me and that I should leave him so he can find a girl much prettier and better then me. I feel so unattractive.He has told me many times that he loves me more than any other girl that he has ever met and that he wants me to be the girl he marrys, but I can't get this thought out of my head. I am also afriad to meet this family (who lives out of town), because I don't want to take the chance of them not likeing me. He wants me to meet them. What can I do to get out of this funk and to feel better about myself.

If you don't love yourself for who you truly are then you can never excpect someone else to love you. I have a question for you. Do you really love this guy or are you with him because you want to feel loved and want to feel needed by someone? I have been in an abusive relationship and after words you have to realize to never settle for something bad or mediocre because you never know when the best will come along. Have you spoken with a professional about your past? You seem to have a low self esteem which is why you might have gotten into an abusive relationship to begin with. Not believing in yourself and not thinking you deserve this guy is a mistake! Just because someone treated you horrible doesn't mean everyone should. So pick up your head, look in the mirror, and tell yourself that you are your number 1 fan and you don't need anyone to make you feel good about yourself! Feel good on your own!

You'll have to meet his family. The only way you two can reach your full relationship-potential is if they like you, too, since they are the group of people that probably have the most influence on his opinions (along w/ you).
