How to ask for reassurance?

Question

I’ve been dating my bf for two and a half years and idk i’ve been feeling extra insecure lately. he hasn’t done anything wrong but I just feel super sad and keep thinking he’s gonna leave me. just as of today. I know it will eventually pass, it may just be my hormones, and I don’t wanna show him im this insecure. I think it’s because i’ve been subscribed to the #breakups reddit page and been reading all these stories… it’s really scaring me. ive unfollowed the page just now. is there a way I could ask or communication this to him without sounding pathetic??

Answer

I think the first most important thing is to take care of your own mental health. So if you are not seeing a therapist, you should start. It is perfectly OK to ask for some reassurance, but it is very important for you to be responsible for your own insecurities and self esteem. So taking care of them at the root will give you the most reassurance you can ever have. No reassurance that comes from him will ever be enough unless you are caring for yourself too. With that said, you have to be very honest with him and let him know that you are feeling insecure and you want to take care of that, but in the meantime you are hoping that he could provide some reassurance for you.

Answer

I had the same issue of feeling insecure and thinking he would leave . Sit him down and let him know you’ve been feeling insecure . Also ensure him that it has nothing to do with him . Let him know that you need a bit of reassurance and go from there . It’s not a bad thing to ask for reassurance ! I’ve read a lot of bad stories on glow which used to put me in that mindset of insecurity. I had to learn that reading these outrageous stories up here were giving me huge anxiety .  Best of luck to you.
