And it's not the fact that she considers having him (whoever he may be) as a partner a failure, but she says she feels incompetent or as a failure when she's next to him in public or when she's compared to him. I guess she doesn't feel "worthy" of being with someone like that.

He's certainly become more well-known than she has in a shorter period of time but, with 9 years on him, she became an accomplished actress years before he did. She always seems to get rave reviews and, I think, is well-respected in her field.

If I loved my partner the way I suspect she loves James, you'd think she'd be thrilled for his success, not feel inferior in his wake. Maybe she's referring to his confidence level as compared to her's? image
