My fiance has never posted about me. Ever.

I know this whole post is going to sound like a little whiny high school girl. And it probably sounds dumb, but I need to rant.

I've been with my fiance just shy of a year. We own a home together, he raises my two children as his own(they call him daddy), we go to each other's family functions, we're generally a really cute, happy little family. But he's never once posted anything about me on Facebook. I change our relationship status and he accepts it, I tag him in posts and pictures and everything and he doesn't delete them. But he never shows me off. Ever. He's never even taken a picture of me.

He left his wife almost a year before we started dating and he always posted about her. She always got cute little statuses, random posts on her wall. He sent her flowers all the time and cute little cards and stuff. I don't get that. He was deployed during their entire relationship basically and they never even lived together, separate apartments in separate states.

Looking at our life together and knowing how happy we are, I feel like I've won at life. But I can't help but feel in constant competition with his ex. Why was she worth getting shown off and I'm not? He tells me he felt like he had to put on a show, to convince himself his marriage wasn't a complete sham.(I won't go into specifics but she was basically a gold digger and cheated the whole time) He genuinely was in love with her. And I can't help but feel like I'm second best, like I wont ever compare to her and how he felt with her. He says he's just become a more private person, which I get, but if you know I want to be shown off or bragged about the way I do with you,why can't you do it just ONCE to boost my confidence and make me feel happy? Part of me feels like he's afraid of who might see. It makes me feel like he's just waiting for her to come back. It really messes with my self esteem and my own issues of not feeling good enough.

I know this may seem silly to some, but I just needed to get it off my chest.
