This is an easy answer from me.
My late wife was very concerned that I could look better than her.
I could never contemplate this as she was a very attractive woman and had a lot of style when she was dressed.
However for some reason she lacked confidence. (Perhaps I did not tell her enough)
She had a massive wardrobe spread over three bedroom closets and shoes like Imelda Marcos.
Tall and slim and wore clothes well.
For me if I looked like a guy in a dress I couldn't do this.
