Hi ladies , my partner points out all things that's wrong with me more than he says i'm beautiful etc

I don't know if he's being kind and honest about it or if it's bad I know it's good to be with someone that will rather tell you the truth than to pretend

But I told him about it and he still does it I just feel ugly

Sounds like a mean minded a**whole. What redeeming features does he have.

Personally I'd show him the door, there are better men out there

This is called negging.

It is a deliberate strategy to bring down your self-esteem so that you feel lucky to be with him.

Exactly this. I was going to say “google negging”

He is a tosser. Bin him.

He probably reads shite like Andrew Tate and is slowly dragging you into his control. Fuck that wanker off. My DH has never pointed out my (many) flaws just bigs up my best bits.

Get rid. If you continue in this 'relationship' for a few years, down the line you'll have no self-esteem left at all.

Raise the bar.

A friend is supposed to add positively to your life in many different ways

End the relationship

You are worth more

You are strong, it is better to be single, than to be with this type of person
