A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i love my boyfriend very much, we been together for almost 7 months but i have always known him, he loves me too im his first love and first serious girlfriend, we have fun together, can be ourselfs around eachother and he always makes sure i come first out of anything. but the other night he said " i dont deserve you" i told him not to ever think that, i dont understand why he said that, why did he say that? he was a bit drunk at the time but im confused why he said that?

so call mates of mine have said im too pretty for him, but in my eyes he is perfect and dont take no notice in what other people have to say. but why did he say he didnt deserve me, does it mean hes guilty about something? or is it because he feels lucky to have me? im just confused in why he said it. what do you think?

yeah... I'd agree with the previous commenter: you are over-analyzing. There's nothing to flip out about here. Absolutely NOTHING.

He said that just because he feels lucky to have you. And maybe he doesn't have a high view of himself. I myself said the same thing to my girlfriend as well. And yes she flipped a bit like you, because if I don't have enough self-esteem (I do, I estimate myself correctly: that is, on a very low scale!), it means that I insult her for thinking that I am a bag of crap and that if she's with me, she must be as well.

Jesus, how does she jump to that from "I don't deserve you", which implies she's a lot better than anything I could wish to have, I really don't know ... :)

I think he just said it because he was drunk and think's himself lucky, we men do get very emotional after a few beverages, girls cry to their friends, lads text their other half/girls they like what they wouldnt say when sober..

Another_Kapiti agony auntAccording to 'Cosmo', guys who say they don't deserve you usually have something to feel guilty about...lol

If he's been a first rate boyfriend (and it sounds like he is) up to this point, take it for drunken ramblings until you have a reason to think otherwise.

We females tend to over analyse the situation anyway, so don't give it another thought...delving into a drunk man's mind is like traversing the amazon in a thong, it shouldn't be done!
