Boyfriend & Self Esteem

I’ve been thinking about my weight issues and I think it has a lot to do with my self esteem. Before I met my BF (1 ½ years ago) I was very confident and felt that I was an attractive person. Lately (past year), I haven’t been feeling that confidence and am wondering if my BF could unknowingly be contributing to my lack of self esteem. Since we’ve been together he’s NEVER told me I was beautiful, pretty, smart, etc. The most he’s said was “you look nice”, if we’re going out. I’m not saying he doest think those things (I actually don’t even know), he’s never been the type of person to say that sort of stuff. I’ve mentioned it on several occasions and he basically says he’s not like that.

He does however buy me gifts, pays for almost everything, and has even given me incentives ($$ gifts) to loose weight. The incentives may sound superficial on his part, but it was more about giving me a challenge that I needed.

I know that we can’t rely on other people to make us feel good, but I would hope my BF thinks I’m sexy, beautiful, smart, etc. and when he doesn’t say those things it makes me feel like I’m not any of those things. There are so many times that I wish he didn’t buy me that gift and instead just pay me a nice complement. Sometimes I think I’d feel better about myself with out him. Thanks for listening.
