Hello, I'm Listener Z! It's not easy for two people to meet, but it's so worth it! There are many things that can cause conflicts between two people in life, but it's all part of the journey.
Let me use myself as an example. I have been in love with my lover for seven years and have been married for a year. We had many arguments during that time, but when I think about it now, they were just trivial things in life. Men are just not as meticulous and cannot express themselves well, which leads to escalating conflicts. But you can get to know more about his life!
You love him very much, and he loves you very much too! He just needs to learn how to express it. They say that when you marry someone, you are actually getting a tutor who will teach you how to live, to be attentive, to know how to care for someone, and how to love.
He's been changing for the better since you've been together! Take a closer look and see how he's changing for the better. Trust him, and he'll put his whole heart in your hands!
Don't let the words of others get in the way of your happiness! You know him best and understand his thoughts. Having said that, you are now the people closest to each other, and in the future, your parents will not be able to spend as much time with you as he has. Follow your heart, eliminate all external distractions, and make your own choice. I believe that three years of passionate love is not something that can be easily said to be over.
I absolutely believe you will think it through thoroughly, and I also believe your boyfriend really, really loves you!
Best wishes!

I can totally relate to your feelings. It's really tough when you're pouring all your love into a relationship and it feels like it's not reciprocated in the way you expect. Maybe it's time to consider what you truly need from this relationship and whether it's worth holding on or if letting go could lead to something better for you.
It sounds like you're going through an incredibly hard time. The fact that you've been together for three years shows there must be something special about him. Have you tried discussing with him how his actions make you feel, rather than focusing on what he's doing wrong? Sometimes changing the approach can open up new lines of communication.
Hearing that your friends think he's not a good boyfriend must be tough. It seems like you're caught between your heart and your head. Relationships do take work, though. Perhaps seeking couples counseling could provide both of you with tools to understand each other better and find common ground.
Love is indeed about tolerance, but it's also about respect and care. If you feel that you're constantly compromising more than you're being valued, it might be worth evaluating if this relationship aligns with your needs and happiness. Your wellbeing should always come first.
You mentioned sitting down and talking didn't solve anything. Communication is key, but sometimes it takes multiple tries and different approaches. Are there any specific things you wish he would do differently? Maybe expressing those wishes clearly can help bridge the gap between your expectations and his actions.
