Insecurity
I am in my first relationship in my 33 year life and I have a lot of insecurities that put strain on our relationship. Is there a good way to reassure myself and not always put the burden on him, and is there a proper way to voice them? Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi! Have you talked to him about your feelings/is he aware this is your first relationship, and that it may therefore cause you some insecurity/anxiety? While it's always terrifying to show someone our true selves, especially in a new relationship when we strive to be perfect, in the long run it's better to be as honest as possible, for their sake and yours. How have you thought of dealing with your insecurity so far?
@WildUnknown indeed I have and he has been so kind and patient and so far from tired of me. I still struggle with seeing that he needs to take tine away for his own self care when I have my boughts with darkness. Recently I told him to leave me because I will kill him with my depression. He didn't say a word and just went to bed; the next day he approached me as if nothing has happened and it really made me see how he faithfully is there for me and not in a way that is coddling me.
@JazzyNRain - Hi there. I was wondering if you were ever made to feel bad in any type of relationship due to the depression and anxiety you might be experiencing? Was it ever from him? From what you are sharing he has been supportive and nice, so it seems as if those insecurities have been formed from other relationships not necessarily romantic ones but also that they are affecting your current relationship, based on what you have shared.
