Damn! I am so glad to see so many responses to this. Grebote, I'm am currently in the same type of relationship. However, we've only been going out for about 3 or 4 months I think(we were friends first and it just gradually advanced from there). She is the most amazing girl and has sooo many awesome qualities that I feel so bad that I can't convince her how great she is. I sometimes sit and try to think of what I can possibly say to her to make her feel better. When I compliment her she always deflects that remark with a snide remark of her own or rolling her eyes. She has more positive qualities than any girl I've gone out with before and it hurts me to hear her get so down on herself.
Ratbastid, I've found myself replying with basically the same "Yeah, you're pretty lousy all right. That must be why everybody loves you so much." remark.
I'm really glad to see all of the responses on here and it's comforting to know there are couples that have dealt with this.
Grebote, thanks for starting this thread, and everyone else thanks for the repsonses!
