What can I do to help him overcome his insecurity?

Question - (27 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 March 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend is this really great guy - successful, intelligent, funny, good looking, erc.

However when it comes to relationships he is very insecure and very immature. I think he has only had 2 serious relatonships in his life. One in in 20's and one in his 30's. I am not sure why he is so insecure with me.

There is nothing I do to make him feel this way, just things he conjures up in that head of his. Perhaps something happened in his past - don't know. Or perhpas he has to be the center of attention all the time and gets insecure because I know alot of people and have a lot of friends. Just don't know.

What can I do to help him overcome this insecurity? Because if he can't I don't think the relationship can progress any further. Any suggestions. Love is not the questions because we both love each other

If there is nothing that you are doing that would make him feel insecure with him self, I doubt that there is anything you CAN do to make him feel better about himself. Get out before the drama starts

There is nothing you can do to make someone get over being insecure....what you can do is accept him just the way he is and let him know that every day by complimenting him on little things he "does for you". Men need respect, and they build self esteem when they are in a healthy, loving relationship....so give him your respect and esteem and it will go along way towards building him up....but the rest is really up to him.
