Do you show him you are happy to be with him?

 

I tell him often. I show him with words and actions. Sometimes I think hes not all that into me if he's not receiving or accepting my feelings towards him. Almost every time I say something good about him he says "yea right" Maybe he will receive it better with someone else..Idk

"yeah right" ... this sounds like depression and he does need more help than what you can offer. Sorry.

How are you getting on?

 

I recently separated from my boyfriend who was similar. I have to say, I'm far less drained now its been a few weeks without him. I really don't miss the feeling of parenting and constantly boosting up somebody else's severe insecurities over every small thing about himself.

The good news, sounds like if he can get through his insecurities he will be an even greater guy. As objectively he has little to be so insecure about there is hope.

Sounds like he could have been hurt by previous relationships like myself. I get these kinds of thoughts in my head all the time due to previous relationships. The best you can do is support him and really build a deep connection with him.

My boyfriend of almost 2 yrs has insecurity issues too. Its gotten better the longer we have been together. I notice that the issues “resurface” if we have a fight or have an issue that needs addressed in our relationship. He will ask for more reassurance from me until he feels secure again. While I may have a few minor insecurities, I have higher self esteem then him and value myself, where he struggles with that more then me. He’s a good man though and treats me well. I keep in mind that his issues arent about me, and I cant fix them. That helps a lot! Me just being a constant in the relationship seems to help, as well as separating his issues from him as the person he is. Nobody is perfect, everybody has something. I can atest that insecurity does get better over time as long as you keep in mind you cant fix him and that it is not about you. If you value the relationship I would say hang in there!
