Is it normal to have to be so careful about what you say to your boyfriend?

I've been dating this guy for about 4 months and he is SO sensitive. He always puts himself down when we're talking and I try to tell him that he's being too hard on himself but he doesn't accept that. And I have to watch what I say so that he doesn't think that I think he's ugly or fat or something. He also thinks I'm always lying to him about things like, why I didn't text him back and stuff like that. It gets really annoying. Is it normal for guys to be like this? & What should I do about it?

    I would say just leave him. He has insecurity issues and need to get them fixed before he can be with anyone. I have seen people like this and they often become clingy and annoying or obsessive and suicidal. They have an old saying that you can not love anyone when you do not love yourself. He should not be this insecure. He needs professorial help. Unless you can provide that yourself I would say get him some or give him up.

    I think it's pretty normal, and there's nothing you can do, except trying to help him with his self-esteem.

    What's happened in his past for him to feel that way? Keep telling him - he needs it :)

    Just tell him he is all yours. and hold him tight and let him know that.

    It sounds like he has insecurities from a previous relationship. There's not much you can do, other than continuing to encourage him.
