My new bf has a lot of anxiety about my long term ex. I've heard talking about exs is never ok and it means you're not over them.
To comfort him should I:
Compair his directly?
"Wow you're so much hotter than my ex"
Compair him indirectly?
"You're the hottest guy I've ever been with"
Insult my ex?
"My ex was such a loser"
Compliment my bf?
"Your such a great person"
I give compliments all the time but it doesn't really help his confidence at all. Any other options or suggestions?

Avoid talking down about your ex or being really blatant about "you're so much better" comments. It tends to sound insincere,and it makes you seem like the kind of person who would say the same things about him if you break up with your current bf, too.
Just avoid bringing him up entirely, and be as affectionate and attracted to your current guy as you can.

OK I've been that guy.
Don't compare him unless you're telling the truth.
There's no need to insult your ex.
Compliments aren't really what he needs.
Is there any reason he might not trust you, or think he's inadequate? Is this a relationship with an expiration date?
Could you give a little more info on what he seems insecure about?

Act like you hate even mentioning or talking about your ex. Don't mention him at all.

DIs.
The ex is out of your life, and your bf has to accept that.
