I think I can relate to your bf a bit, but my self esteem issues I handle it differently I'm single, but I chose to single just to heal. I think like him when we are at our lowest we need anything to suit our needs at the moment, yes he loves you and is willing to communicate with you, but it's tested him to past his breaking point of his own ego and self worth. When it comes to superficial things like looks and him comparing himself to others or maybe you to other girls.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions as the first posters suggested, but I would say think about it if it's worth it to you, even if he means that he isn't attracted to you, because that's his choice and you should respect that and then you should make your own decisions whether you want that relationship or not.

I figure he still needs to learn what I learned very early on the hard way, it's like passion of feeling new love seeing the other persons face no matter what it looks like seems much more amazing in the moment, but then the high gets less and less over time and then the true personalities come out..

See I like this girl now, we are just friends, she likes me. I'm ok with that, she may not be the prettiest girl. I think she is, in my opinion, for me at least, but if he thought you were the most attractive person to him alone. Then you're good, I don't see where there would be any need for his insecurities on that. I was saying because I dated a girl, who I was insecure about her looks, not because how she dressed, or how she looked, it was how she presented herself in a weird disrespectful manner, which was confusing to me, but you are a nice person she wasn't.

How I handled it, which I think he should of chose to not let his emotions drive his decisions, let it run its course calm down. Breathe, I have PTSD and not as bad anymore I didn't need anyone's help. I find his behavior and self esteem issues are pressuring him to not being open after the highs of getting what he needed from you and being sort of ungrateful.. As in, he should at least when after communicating that be honest how he feels about saying that and what he's trying to make it clear. At the same time, you should accept his feelings, and if you don't think you want to go out with him anymore do it. You don't have to, and he shouldn't either. It's better if it had to be a break up it should be a learning experience, but at least if you need to feel it's what you want make your intentions clear as much as his. It would help him learn that he needs to overcome his own anxieties to be for front on his opinions and feelings and being mindful before jumping into relationships.

Take what I say as a grain of salt. I don't know your scenario at all.. It just looked similar to something I was in before. It's hard, but you have to learn how to do it. He needs to learn how to sort his emotions better and be upfront if the attractiveness is a deal breaker to him or not. Find that out, then you make your decision.. Don't hold back be clear and you shouldn't have a problem despite his anger issues. If he got mad, he shouldn't had gone out with you if he'd known if he was not be attracted to you later. I agree with the post above mine.
