My [22F] boyfriend [25M] is always talking to me about other women and commenting on other women’s bodies and it makes me feel awful about myself.

I love my boyfriend and I don’t think he would ever do anything to hurt me, but he’s always saying how hot women in advertisements are or how big the lady’s boobs in the tv show we’re watching are. I’ve never had this issue in my past relationships, but it makes me feel awful about myself and I have told him that.

When we first started dating he would just have porn out everywhere. I have no problem with porn, I watch porn, so I’m not going to tell him that he can’t. But he would have pictures of other girls from the Internet on his phone and have a whole bunch of models Instagram pages saved for later all out in the open. It just made me feel like I wasn’t enough. So I told him that’s how it made me feel and he seemed to feel really bad that he had been making me feel this way. He completely stopped watching porn because of it even though all I wanted was to just not see it all the time.

But he still just talks to me about how hot other women are all the time. I really am not bothered by acknowledging that other women are attractive, but it’s every time we watch TV or go on a walk there’s someone to talk about. He recently got me some nice headphones as a gift and almost immediately after I opened them said pointing to the model on the box “now you can look hot like her”. It totally ruined it for me.

I think other men are attractive and I think about other men, but I don’t feel the need to tell him about it. I can’t tell if I’m just being insecure or if he is just being rude all the time. I want to talk to him about this, but I keep convincing myself that I’m acting crazy.

TL;DR: My boyfriend (of a year who I live with) is always talking about other women and commenting on their bodies. It makes me feel terrible about myself and like I am not enough for him.
