Hi there.
A year ago I met a gorgeous man I've been in an incredibly happy relationship with ever since. He is 6'3, athletic, magnetic blue eyes, great blonde hair and smile. To me, he's a 10. A more objective assessment could be 8.5/9, on a scale from 1 to 10/runway model. Me on the other hand... I am a short woman slightly on the thick side (i.e. I don't look good in a bikini but am not legit fat) and my face is cute, I guess, but honestly I struggle to consider myself pretty. I'd assess myself as a 6.5, 7 on a good day. I have never hurt for a relationship, don't get me wrong. I don't get hit on, I don't get that much attention from men, but somehow I have in the past had serious relationship with 2 other men way hotter than me (>8.5 at the very least, one of them actually modeled). I have no idea how I managed that. I do have a fun personality, I am very sweet, affectionate and loyal and am reasonably smart and very well read and educated, but I have swallowed the female black pill a long while ago. I know men don't really place much value on female achievement.
Now, my current relationship is amazing. He is the sweetest man, great job, great dresser, he's just amazing. And somehow, he worships me. He is extremely affectionate and expresses his love to me multiple times a day. The only place where we have a mismatch is intellect, as he is more of a pragmatic, feet on the ground person while I am the more academic and bookish one. Other than that, he is the boyfriend tons of women would kill for. The sex is phenomenal. We cannot get enough of each other.
Editing to add, that marriage, kids and growing old together are frequently and joyfully brought up, by him way more than me.
Still when I look at the mirror I can't help but feel like I'm on borrowed time. How is it possible that such a natural alpha bucks could be in love with a woman like me? And then my brain starts conjuring up all these scenarios where one day he actually realises that he can do better and leaves me for one of the millions of prettier women than me. This is starting to bother me but I just don't have the guts to discuss this with him, because honestly, it sounds stupid as hell and I'm aware of it.
So I'm asking the red pilled women here, do you think a relationship where the man has clearly higher SMV is necessarily doomed? Any advice on how to cope or reframe such a situation?
