I want to ultimately start a family with the right guy, he doesn't. I'm brilliant with numbers, he's brilliant with creative stuff. He works at night, I work during the day.

As for #3 down there, I'm still working on that. I left a prior LT relationship with a lack of confidence in my dating abilities and all of that (yet I had no lack of confidence in my professional success). I'm doing better at loving myself and recognizing that I deserve a loving, available partner who loves me for me. Its just that I've had a few bad experiences where I wasn't enough though, and I guess that's where that is coming form: that who I naturally am won't be enough to win him (or many other men) over.
