Emily:

My relationship seemed fine, until the other day my boyfriend and i started talking about things on his mind. He told me that he doesn't know if he's the type of guy i need because he sees that he can't give me what i need, and how we want different things. He said he loves me and he doesn't want to be without me, but he doesn't know how he will take care of me in the future. I told him all i need is him being there for me, by my side, and that would be great for me. Now i don't know what to do. I think our relationship might be over, even though i told him he doesn't know what's going to happen in the future -- but he doesn't want something bad to happen and make it worse for us. What should i tell him to make him think we will be fine, and that he shouldn't worry about this at all -- and that whatever happens, we will make it together?

Isn't it up to you to decide what type of boyfriend you need, and not him? That said, if you do appear "needy" and he doesn't think he can cope with your insecurities, I could understand his point. But you didn't phrase it that way. Reassure him that he fills the bill as far as what you want in a relationship, however, if he still thinks he's not the one, you have no other choice but to hit the ball back in his court. I'd tell him, "Maybe I'm the one who doesn't fit in to your needs and, if that's the case, be honest and tell me so rather than place the problem at my feet." The fact he said that you and he want different things, tells me he might have already made up his mind about you and him. And that's okay, but he needs to stop beating around the bush if that's truly his position.
