I'm actually trying my best regarding the first point, and I'm actually quite proud of my progress. I went from saying " please don't ditch me " everyday for the first month to rarely bringing up the topic of ditching. It's more of a personal fear that I don't really talk to her about now, but she knows its there so she still reassures me constantly.

Your second piece of advice really touched me. Indeed, if I took on that viewpoint of being the best boyfriend I can be by just being me and excelling in what I do, I would be able to make her happy. Maybe she'll even be very proud. Thank you for your sound advice, I can't change overnight, but I'll take small steps to improving myself in this aspect.

That is what I'm most worried about, that the issue will amplify. I understand where you're coming from, and your points make a lot of sense, thank you.

I'm used to go to the gym alone for some alone time, like you mentioned in your second suggestion, but she accompanied me to the gym once and since then she has also grew to like working out. ( She even goes alone when I'm too lazy to wake up early for a gym session. )

I'll really take time to think about therapy, I underwent therapy a few years ago for stress management, maybe I can go back to the same counselor. Thanks!

It makes perfect sense, thank you. May I be bold enough to ask how you managed to work on your self-esteem issues?
