I'm going through a bit of a rough patch in terms of my self-esteem. I've had a few health issues in the last couple of months and been on and off the pill (which is torture for hormones) and have just generally been feeling blah, which is making me very insecure about my looks around my bf.
I am an otherwise confident person - I know I am smart, kind, sweet, generous and a great girlfriend, it is just my looks that I feel insecure about. I start thinking that I look tired or unwell around him, and then, foolishly, I start questioning whether he is really truly attracted to me. I feel so negative right now that that no matter what he says (he tells me he thinks I am sexy and gorgeous regularly) it doesn't seem to make any difference and I don't believe him... And recently I have actually started asking him whether he still thinks I am pretty, sexy etc. I absolutely hate being like this and I can see he is getting frustrated by my need for constant reassurance and the fact that when he gives it to me, I question his sincerity.
I really hate being like this and I don't want to jeapordise this relationship because things are wonderful with us in so many ways... he is incredibly supportive and understanding, smart, funny and fun, and the sex is amazing. I love him and I want to be the best person I can be for him, so any advice on overcoming insecurity would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone :-)
