I don’t know how to help him. He’s absolutely gorgeous, super physically fit, generous, kind, caring… I tell him this all the time to no avail. Any suggestions?

Lots of successful men have low self esteem.
Not sure if counseling would benefit him.

If he has any other issues than self-esteem, you could try to convince him to go for those reasons.

I have self-esteem issues, but my husband always makes me feel better by reaffirming his feelings. He tells me he loves me and that I’m beautiful. Even if the rest of the world thinks poorly of me, he doesn’t, and that means a lot. If he won’t accept counseling, just tell him regularly how you feel about him and how awesome he is. At least he’ll know he has you on his side.

I just wish I could make it better for him. He’s such a great guy. He really shouldn’t feel that way. I feel for him. I feel ugly too but I’m overweight, and it’s changed my face. I just wish he could see what I see. I’ll just keep telling him everyday. Hopefully it helps. @Wave @Twialine @cdwithdcs @Happy_H

I don’t like relationships that are spent on trying to make the other person happy. It’s not my job or responsibility. When I stay in them and try to help, I feel my own mental health declining.
@MikaMoon I don’t feel that way. My husband supports me in my problems and I want to support him too. That’s a give and take relationship that’s healthy and balanced.

One strand of DNA is so intricate. Such a brilliant design that no human being on this earth should have a low self esteem
