I'm a 22 year old male going out with a 20 female for roughly half a year. I was friends with her for a substantial time before and predictably I fell for her pretty quickly. My advances however weren't successful. The circumstances found me in competition with other guys she met and in all cases she opted for the other guy. 

In retrospect I understand why. These guys were more confident then me, older and in some cases better looking. How do I know this? Well whenever she met one she would go on about how good looking they were. How she had met "the one" and so forth.I should have thrown my hands up and left there but I clung to the friendship, mainly because I didn't have much else going on in my life. I was miserable the entire time though.

Fast forward a year and we had both left for uni and were both living at the same dorm building. Her previous relationships had fell through and we ended up becoming a couple. Still bitter about being rejected I stuck with the relationship but throughout the entire time I have always felt like a backup. She never raved about me when we first met, took three goddamn years to finally accept me and even now I don't feel like she really likes me. I was never referred to as "the one". She tried harder for her previous relationships, I know this because of all the details she used to share with me about her sex life and stuff. I don't get the same treatment and spend the entire time just catering for her.

What do you lot think I should do?
