My boyfriend (27M) is hurting my (23F) self esteem

Please please help me :)

I'm in a relationship. Its been 8 months now, While talking to him I came to know that he is not ready to marry or give any future commitment, he says he loves me but he's sorry that he won't be able to accept me because of my past ( I was in a physical relationship with a guy whom I dated for 3 years which called off in 2017) after so many years I have given a guy a chance and fallen in love again. It wasn't easy for me to share same bond or even trust anyone but I did. I took a chance and now he says , he can't give me a permanent spot in his life ever and he doesn't feels like losing me is a loss! (He has a past too, he had 3 sexual relationship/flings) He says you've everything else perfect but your past is something that's affecting me! I tried to talk to him, like I've accepted his past why can't he? I really love him.I never thought this will be the reason which I will get to hear :) Please help me? he is willing to continue the relationship futher but says he might not change his decision (of not marrying me) He says for a guy it's normal to have physical relationship but for a girl it isn't the same. Please guide me should I consider being w him or not?
