He Doesn't Believe I Love Him

I'm basically making this post to vent a little. My boyfriend and I have been together for a while. He is the love of my life and my best friend. I have no doubt in my mind that he's the man i want to marry. We are even living together. But he has days were he is distant. He isn't trying to be, but he gets stressed and self-conscious that he goes into his own world.

My boyfriend and I were best friends before we hooking up, and he's had these problems before then..

He had tragic experiences with dating.. Everyone he ever dated either cheated on him or just dated him to get close to someone he was kinda close with.. And he says that there is nothing special about him and that he isn't even remotely attractive in anyway, and that's nothing at all positive about him fir him to even pretend he's okay. And because of all of that, he doesn't believe I love him, not like I really do.

"I know you love me, I just don't see how you could. I don't see how you even want me. There's nothing special about me. Even the things I'm good at there's people way better. No body likes me. I try not to get attached because no body wants me. Im basically waiting on the inevitable."

This always hurts. Even though I know it's not because of me. He's broken. I just wish there was a way for me to show him I'm never leaving him.
