Ever felt overshadowed by boyfriend?

[Ian the swordfighter]

I feel like my boyfriend is in some ways overshadowing me. I just keep getitng the feeling that he is better than me at everything. He has an IQ score of 141 and I only have an IQ of about 113. I know IQ tests are not always that reliable or valid but this still makes me feel stupid in comparison ot my bf.

Also he's this fencing champion who always seems to come home with these medals he's won at competitions. I enjoy fencing but I am nowhere near as good at it as he is.

I know I shouldn't be jealous of him but I can't help it. I just get the feeling that he is more clever and fitter than I am (though he is quite slim).
He's also very, very good at chess and other board games, especially word games.

However, I suppose I have some things he doesn't have. I can beat him at bowling for one! But still.... I just wish I was at his level rather than being stuck down here.

However, I do have self-esteem issues, which doesn't help matters much.
