She deserves a better life then what she has now and I want it to be with me but I can't seem to do what it takes to make it happen.


This seems somewhat parallel to the way you tell her she's attractive and she doesn't believe you.

She tells you that you have it in you to be sexual, and you don't believe her.

It's like each of you is the person the other one wants and you even tell each other this, but neither of you believes it about him/herself.

IOW each of you is saying, "YOU'RE the one I want, but you're WRONG about ME being the one YOU want." Or something like that...
