So I have known my girlfriend for 7 months now and we have been together for 2 months. The dates are interesting and fun, and she seems to really like me. The only thing is that I am still kinda searching for my path in life. I was never super passionate about one thing, I mostly like doing many things at once and possibly be as good as I can be in them. And for as long as I could remember I was jealous of people who "got it figured out", because I never had a clear life direction.

My gf is the contrary, she is extremely smart and focused on her field and now is even almost getting a PhD. title. Whenever she talks about it I am extremely happy for her, but at the same time it eats me from inside. Mostly because I don't have a job that I am passionate about as she is and I never had a clear direction of what I want to do.

It makes me so insecure that sometimes I wonder why is she with me, and I also got erectile dysfunction a few times before. I think this is my biggest insecurity and whenever she mentions her success it just reminds me that I should get my shit together asap.

For any women readers, how to handle this situation and why does she have a younger bf who is not someone she can aspire to?
