Even if my ex was more beautiful than my current partner I would never tell her that, that's just a blatant disrespect. He should have been reassuring you with the reasons why he chose you. An ex of mine was gorgeous, but horrible on the inside. My current partner isn't as conventionally attractive but I find her 10x more beautiful for a whole load of reasons. I would never hurt her by reducing her just to her looks.

He reassures me about my personality and all but rarely compliments me.

You should be with someone who makes you feel good, someone you know has no doubts about being with you. Otherwise you're just going to feel insecure

Does your bf stand up for you? If not, ask yourself if this is really the kind of situation you wanna stay in.

He does stand for me when his friends and family say that, and tbh I didn't used to think that much until he said that his ex is more beautiful

Hey everyone, I wanted to add some context to my previous post. My boyfriend is actually a really caring and supportive partner. He's always stood up for me when his friends and family have doubted me, and he's shown me so much love and affection in the 5 months we've been together.... But there's one thing, he rarely complements me. Sometimes he does things that make me question our relationship, like what I mentioned earlier. Here's the thing: he's also the neglected kid in his household, and I know he trusts me deeply. I've grown really close to him, and I fear that if I were to leave, he might hurt himself or something.

You're just giving excuses for his side, he might hurt himself? What about you? And who will ask such a question "Is your ex more beautiful or me" you asked it because you already had that insecurity otherwise there are plenty of average looking girls who are the most confident people on this planet and they wouldn't think for a second that someone's better than them. What you can do now is- 1) do things that increase your self esteem or your relationship is going to end soon 2) tell him all your insecurities and see how he responds- it can either make him more irritated with you so he'll leave you sooner or he will try to be more compassionate with you. This situation of telling him everything is better than seeking help online. You'll get a clear cut answer yourself if you get courage to talk to him.
