I just remembered something I said to my boyfriend awhile ago. I told him I couldn’t love him because I didn’t love myself and I was lost. That’s when he said I can love him knowing that I still had him to rely on. It’s getting to me now that how can I love somebody if I’m unhappy with myself.

i think, if noone could love another, because she/he didn’t love herself, then there would be very few relationships.
i don’t agree with your boyfriend.
I truly love my husband, even though I have huge issues with myself. But, I think the quality of my love would improve and how that love benefits him would improve if I loved myself. Someone who struggles with self-love is not devoid of love. I have a lot of love to give. But in such a close relationship, I know my husband would be happier if I loved myself.

I said that once to my ex boyfriend. We continued on with our relationship anyway.
Well what did he say?
I don’t agree with him but what should I say?
I don’t remember. It was 10 or so years ago.
I got rid of mine because he wanted me in cat suit and wanted to touch me every 5 minutes. I’m not the touchy type. I’ll kick it and play games that’s it. I liked him but I didn’t love him though and it showed in our relationship.
sorry marie i misread your first post. what your bf said seems reasonable to me? i think when you say that you can’t love someone cos you’re unhappy with yourself, i don’t really agree with that. i don’t see how loving another person is dependent on you being happy with yourself…
I think that is the case with me. I only want what I can’t have.
