Me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 months. I love him and he’s a lovely man.
But he has a lot of unaddressed emotions, debts, insecurities etc. he’s comfortable with me so he seeks support from me which I am fine with.
However, his emotional can be so heavy. He’s got a lot he’s not addressed and they come around like vicious cycles on a constant. I believe this has damaged his confidence and self esteem. Sometimes he will believe I’m angry with him or my tone or body language is off and that it’s because of him. I may just want personal space and he will think I don’t love him. He will ask me quite frequently if me and him are ok and if I’m alright with him.
now I have learnt to be quite aware of my body language and tone now so he knows I’m fine with him. This means explaining I love him before a sentence. Smiling a bit more so he knows I’m happy or just explaining things I wouldn’t usually explain.
im not sure how to deal with this type of character. I do love him but I am not used to someone who is more needy for attention and affection.
can anyone help?
