I need help understanding why my boyfriend is uncomfortable

Ok for context I’m 20f and he’s 23m. the other day he said he was uncomfortable with me having “father figures” I hsve never had a good relationship with my own dad. so I tend to gravitate towards male rolemodles. I don’t know if he rthinks it’s weird or what. But it’s not in a creepy way it’s lit like my therapist or a high school teacher that helped me through a difficult time. So I might be wrong but I dont see the problem with this? He has told me he’s been cheated on with his exs “ father figure”. But I feel like he should know me en to know it’s not like that. I think of these people as a fill in dad and feel like throwing up thinking about it ever being more than that. He says I can’t help him feeling that way but i want to. I just really need some advice I have no one else I can talk to about this.
