What I'd like to know about the first letter-writer is whether her partner ever responded to her insecurities in an empathetic, reassuring manner, before springing on her a response like 'you're pushing me away', and calling her self-absorbed. He sounds like kind of a jerk. A good boyfriend - father of her child! - would at least try to make her feel better about herself, instead of springing even more negatives on a partner with an already injured self-image. Negative self-perception comes from the inside; but sometimes, bad partners help it along.

More tired misandrist drivel from Cait Robinson. When is Nerve going to get around to firing her? I love how she magically fills in the blanks to pin part of the confidence issue on the LW's boyfriend solely on the basis of conjecture. Guess what, Cait? LW1 sounds like a semi-professional victim, part of a demographic (one NOT anatomically defined) who use this feint as a way of keeping the spotlight on themselves while abdicating all responsibility for laying in the bed they've made. Guess what? LW1 is self-absorbed, but tossing out phrases like "I have no self-confidence" and "I hate my body" gives her plenty of coverage to be self-centered, selfish and manipulative while still retaining her mantle of victimhood.
We know slim to none about the dynamic of this couple's relationship other than what the LW tells us, and it appears that Slim just left town. Injecting anti-masculinist rhetoric into the advice she gives demonstrates why Cait Robinson should follow Slim.
