Whenever I have been told this by my wife it hasn't been said with an intent like "without you I would die inside"
she simply means her life is in a good spot and part of that is due to the relationship we share together, Which in turn has allowed her to feel fulfilled and content with life as it exsist in the here and now.
Unless you have a preexisting reason to worry about someone's intentions to you, there is literally no real need to try and assume what "bad places" this is coming from within their minds.

I have a (woman)friend who swears she would die without me. I love her, but I don't like the idea of her dying.
But these days, every compliment comes from a bad place of low self esteem, ill-intent. I think that a lot of people just don't know how to receive compliments. Cuz everyone's out to get you, yo!
I find the best thing to do to my partner is to over analyze every compliment and positive statement from them until I can find something wrong with it.
That's kind of what I thought...whether it's someone or something, thinking that's going to make you happy is detrimental. Which is something I learned myself. I would say it's more a self-reliance thing, than self-esteem, at least for me, since I'm independent and need my time and space.
He also made a couple other comments about how he didn't smoke as much when I was around, because I made his anxiety or whatever go away...lol. Which I also thought was sweet and was flattered by, but also sort of wary. Like, you're going to replace smoking with me? um ok...let's see how that works out...lol.
He's telling you he has issues. Are you ok with being with a smoker?
Nope, and I'm steel hearted rather than stout hearted .
But seriously folks, the first place anyone should look for happiness, contentment, fulfilment or whatever else is within. Then you can share your abundance with somebody else (if you want to) rather than expect them to fill your basket.
Be careful, that just might make that somebody else... happy.
