He really opened up to you with his in-securities! And he told you to get rid of the Divorce Papers!
Wonderful!
Since he 'hears' that he's crap a lot...have you considered keeping a "Positives Journal"?
I have a little notebook that I write at least 3 things in daily that my husband has done that made me happy.
He told me when I had been doing this for a little while, that he used to think I was often unhappy and unsatisfied with everything he did.
Much later, when I'd been slack about my journal, he made the comment, "I guess I haven't done anything right lately, since you haven't been writing in your journal."
AWwww! Poor guy.
So, this journal thing is really helping my husband.
