His Girlfriend Said He’s Only Alright As A Boyfriend, But He Would Be 5 Stars If He Were Rich

He’s done everything he can think of to show he’s great boyfriend material, so to fall short of a 5-star rating is crushing to him.

“I’ve [got] a stable professional job, my own home, adult kids, etc…I’m not perfect, but I think I’m pretty good boyfriend and future husband material,” he said.

“I’ve worked hard to interrogate myself for years, and I’ve never once asked my current partner for validation (until now, perhaps).”

“I’m not sure what I was expecting, but not this. Now, I just don’t know. After 2 years of dating and working hard to be the best I can be for her, I feel deflated, dejected, sad, disconnected. How would you react if your partner said this and how do I deal with this?”
