Not enough.

Perhaps it is depression come calling again but I sometimes feel my wife deserves better. She deserves someone better looking who can give her more. I do my best and we did reach a 20 year wedding anniversary. This tells me something is going right but this voice in my head tells me I am not good enough.

Before we go through a growth period (and we are constantly growing), we go through lows. I have found the best way to deal with it is to just observe it and not give it a lot of merit.

@curiosi I wish the growth period was for my height!

Of course your wife deserves better than you. If you thought otherwise you'd be a bad husband.
But that doesn't mean you should think you're not good enough.
Like you said, if you've hit 20 years together then you're obviously the man [i]she[/i] wants to be with.

@Pikachu I hope she would like to be with me for me and not because she feels compelled to. My paranoia is out again.

As long as you recognize that it's just paranoia😉

One of the most wonderful things that can happen to us is to have a strong lasting relationship with someone who we think deserves better. It's proof positive that we love them and they love us.

@Mamapolo2016 I see that with my parents. They married young against my grandparents wishes. As cliche as it sounds they planned to run away together if my father could not get a blessing. They are in their 70s still together. I always admired that.
