My boyfriend cries… a lot

We’ve only been together for about 8 months.. I’m 12 weeks pregnant. He professes his love for me often and I am totally secure in our relationship. He however expresses great concern that he isn’t good enough for me and really gets bent out of shape for little to no reason. He cries when he talks to me about what he’s feeling. At first I thought it was sweet and sensitive and then it kept happening and I’m now just kind of like what the heckkk is going on here. I love him I am carrying his child we plan to get married he has full access to my phone. I don’t know how to make him secure in our relationship.

It sounds like he has self esteem issues that have nothing to do with you and would benefit from therapy. Sounds like some possible codependency going on as well.

Yep therapy there’s nothing more you can do

It starts at crying, then turns to invading your privacy, questioning your every move. Which then turns to accusations and yelling. Possibly goes in the deeper levels of abuse later. Therapy. You need to know the root cause. If he's been hurt before it can be repaired. If you don't have a root cause, then you can't really fix a problem if you don't know where to start.

I was with an insecure guy-man/boy for 10 years it’s their issues with them not feeling good enough with them selfs encourage him to take a class in something independent from you and that you can eventually do together!

I had to leave because my relationship got to toxic but issues are still the same

@Sonja THIS! My ex started off crying when he did wrong and I brought something up to his attention, then he became manipulative, deceiving, and abusive!

@Jennifer that's the process used. It happens slowly, so you begin to think it's your fault. Gaslighting. Emotional abuse. Then they have phases of lovebombing to keep you trying for that good side of things.its a ploy to keep you there.

@Sonja yess ! I finally got an OP in March against him for me and my children. And some how says I’m delusional that he never put his hands on me. Phew, it’s a process dealing with a manipulative narcissist!

Omg I haven’t noticed anything progressing yet.. I really hope it doesn’t reach those levels!

My ex did this...would get emotional and also kept telling me he loved me and I'd never find anyone better. He had self confidence issues but soon turned to narcissistic behaviour. Used his temper to scare and control things. Then when I'd leave he'd cry and blackmail me to stay which I did...took me a few attempts but finally broke free

The flag is looking kinda red , dark magenta-ish

Hold off on the marriage until you get a better handle on what’s going on.
