How can I get my man to stop being so hard on himself?

He thinks he's ugly just because he has a hole in his cheek from where they removed a tumor. I have cancer so I very well know what having a hole in your body feels like! I think he's perfect but he still thinks I will think he's ugly?! He's crazy! I have many scars in my stomach from having surgery to remove cancer! His scar is no measure of my love for him, I love him for who he is : (
& yes he is on EP lol

you need to tell him that you love him,and that a little scar wont change that!you need to make sure that when u notice that he is over-thinking his apperance,that you try to make him feel good about himself.extra hugs and kisses will help to.tell him that love is not just about how he is seen by you.but what a great man that he is to you.ask him'would you love me any less,or think that i was less attractive with the same scar?'you know that his answer will be 'no',then say'my point exactly'then give him a big cuddle and some nice little kisses...

Does he have a profile on here? I suppose you should tell him that your feelings for him are the same and none them have anything to do with a hole in his cheek, but about how sweet, kind, and wonderful he is.

Just slap him with a wet noodle and tell him to Man Up! Guys don't normally care so much about what they look like, especially if their girl is as understanding as you.

I think I saw him asking a question earlier about his cheek. Yeah I really don't think its no big deal, and its not like he will have a hole there forever its gonna close up and look pretty badass most likely!

You can't. All you can do is continue loving and supporting him.

Oh my god... If you find an answer to this question (one that works!), please share it with me! Healing insecurity in the man you love just seems to be such a hopeless task sometimes...

1st off God luv u both for surving cancer. I kno it's cliched but it stands true - remind him / show him other ppl that are far off worse than he is. Knowing me if he were my bf I'd and have done that and then wise crackhim and say look at the benefit u can drnk thru ur cheek - but my bf and i obtain the same scarastic humor. Sincerely it could b worse such as a friend of mine that tried to commit sucide and wasnt sucessful , blew off half of his face and once he recovered he continued on with life as nothing happened. I'm sure he stlll looks great especially to you and other friends/family best of luck with ur bf :)
