I always tried really hard to show him that I loved him but I think he has truly convinced himself that I am this really awful person. I know I am not, people always tell me I am one of the most nicest person they have ever met and I have a good heart. I always put others before myself... He wants that love and attention, he wants to feel appreciated. Other girls are not going to just offer that too him right away.... Why on earth he would think another female would want to be with him is beyond me. He doesn't have anything to bring to the table.....

Get a lawyer so that you can file for support. He is a BIG BABY that never learned how to grow up. I also think that you should work on setting stronger boundaries and learning to say no instead of always being the one who is constantly giving. A relationship is give and take on BOTH sides. You do all the giving, and he does all the taking. I wish you the best.
Agree with all responses. He is extremely insecure and thinks that by having someone around to constantly attend to him and validate his feelings that his insecurities will go away. It's not something that anyone can work on but himself and he has to actually be willing to do that.

We all present our best selves when we first meet other people. The obvious change in him is NOT your fault.

It's good that you are doing something for yourself in going through legalities to deal with the situation.
