Today, I finally got up the courage to talk to my four-year boyfriend about how insecure I've been feeling in our relationship recently, and how I needed his support while I try to get my self-esteem back on-track. He fell asleep mid-conversation. FML

He exerted himself SO much trying to support you that he fell straight asleep in a bout of pure, devoted exhaustion.

Can you stop by my place? I've been needing some help getting to sleep lately.

if you have self esteem, you don't need him.

Just break with him since he doesn't care

Self esteem is a funny thing. The more a person is told (by words or actions) that they don't matter, the easier it becomes to believe. Having a partner that is supportive does wonders for one's self esteem, because they're getting positive feedback. I think that the OP should take a long, hard look at just where the self-doubt is coming from, and address it from that angle. If its coming from the boyfriend... well... There are these things called curbs. I suggest you kick him to it.

No wonder why you fell insecure and have low self-esteem, your BF is a asshole and probally is the source of your problems! And you've been with him for 4 years? YDI

YDI. You can not blame your relationship (and indirectly your boyfriend) for your self-esteem problems.

Unless they are his fault. How do you know he doesn't put her down and insult her in small ways to break her self-esteem? Exactly, you don't. She wasn't blaming her boyfriend either. She simply wanted help in raising her self-esteem. Her bf is a jerk for falling asleep and generally not caring. (unless he has sleeping issues like narcolepsy or something that causes him to fall asleep)

You don't need a man to help your self-esteem. I have a friend with PTSD and something that helped her was getting up and saying "It isn't my fault" while looking in a mirror daily. This concept works for self-esteem issues too. Simply get up in the morning, smile to yourself in a mirror and compliment yourself in one way or another. It is best to try to find something different each time you do this so as to keep from focusing on one aspect of yourself. Smile more and stand upright to exude more confidence. Other people will notice this confidence and respond accordingly in positive ways that will reflect onto your self-esteem. Also, your bf is a dick. Dump him.

Probably not the best topic for pillow talk.

I think you may need to find someone else...unless he just didn't want to talk about since he feels the same way...

I dunno, I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt because I know the last thing my bf wants to talk about when he's exhausted is feelings. He's kindhearted and caring but he's not very emotional, and that kind of conversation is really draining for him. Give your bf another chance, OP, when he's not tired.
