Anxiety around a love one, especially in a more recent relationship, is completely normal. My boyfriend and I would hardly even look at each other. It just proves that you care for your significant other, and do ot want to pressure them.

If you're nervous around your boyfriend then there's something wrong. You should be comfortable around your boyfriend. He will eventually become the other part of you :)

Any bad experience that is linked to your boyfriend, rather closely (eg, he has threatened you) or loosely (eg, he is male and you have had bad experiences with men before) can lead to an association in your head, which your mind takes as a reason for you to be scared of him. A personal example of this is that I have had negative experiences in social situations which has lead to me developing social anxiety

Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells or can´t do anything right? Sometimes those feelings occur in abusive relationships.

Nervousness in relationships often happens because the fear of rejection, which is a normal feeling that everyone feels due to evolutionary effects on behavior and normal social anxiety (as opposed to a disorder). I don't know enough about your situation to say why, but you will have to compare what you were like with him before and what you are like with him now to find where the change happened and what happened around that time to cause the anxiety that you are feeling.

Is here something he is doing to have you feeling this way? Is it how he talks ? Does he control? Ask yourself these questions ask yourself why? And then sit with him and tell him about how you feel good this helps

I felt so nervous with my wife during our first two years because i believed that I did not deserve to have such a high caliber of women as my girlfriend. Thus was my failure to let go of the guilt of my past mistakes. I felt unworthy of her love

probably because you are thinking of him a different person than you are. I believe there is no need to feel this way and will get over it if you change your perspective. And after all he is your boyfriend, you can always talk to him about how you feel and both can come up with effective solution.
