BF hates his appearance and is very insecure about it

So I have been with my BF for over two years, We have a mortgage together and next year we want to start having kids but lately he has became very insecure about his appearance. He said that before he met me he never went out much because he hated the way he looks and he has even spent money on his appearance. The other day I pointed out a scar that he has on his forehead and since then he has became insecure, he even told me that he went to a plastic surgeon about it in which it was going to cost a few grand to get it removed but he didnt go ahead because the plastic surgeon warned him that it might make the scar look worse.

I think he is very attractive, He's tall, athletic with broad shoulders but he thinks that he is out of shape just because he isnt ripped or has a 6 pack despite being muscular and lean already. He also has said to me a few times "I hope your not with me only because of my personality" and "I hope you find me phsycally attractive".

He also shaves his whole body and the house is always smelling of hair removal cream.

He also is worried that I might turn out "lesbian" and that he thinks women find other women better looking but end up staying with men.

Neither of you sound fully formed enough to be parents.

He sounds quite poorly.

Masterful understatement here.
I can only agree.

Please do not bring children into this car crash of a relationship.

The only two threads I've read tonight are about some weirdo thinking his partner wants to shag/ has a liking for a Viking and now this fool here thinks his partner will "turn out lesbian". Crackpots of the first order.

No but I’d put money on him questioning his gender at some point once she’s pinned down with marriage & 3-4 DC and it’s harder to separate.

Hates his male body? Removes all body hair? Worries (hopes?) his female partner might turn out to be a lesbian (so then they can stay together when he’s transitioned)?

This was my first thought.

Cos you don't find him attractive that'll make you a lesbian?

That's quiet a stretch

He also shaves his whole body and the house is always smelling of hair removal cream.

And then he's worried you might "turn out lesbian"?!!??!!

Are you sure this isn't a smokescreen for him "turning out gay"? 🤔

Exactly my thought when I read it! This one is so deep in the closet, hes likely in Narnia hence the whole Hector projector routine.
