I (F18) and my boyfriend (M19) have been dating for around 3 months and over this time a lot has changed about our situation and understanding of each other over this time it has become pretty clear to me that when it comes to certain situations we have different opinions, for example when discussing expectations he expects me to reply within a few minutes for him messaging as well as be physically intimate with him a lot of the time. He is much more dependent on me than I am on him and gets very upset when I do something that he sees as wrong (not replying or talking to other people instead of him) when he gets upset about these things he will not tell me to my face, instead he will make little passive aggressive jokes or speak about me using a code name with his freinds while I am there. Obviously I have caught on to this and said it makes me uncomfortable and I would like to just have a conversation about things so I can change, he says he will do this next time every time then still does the same thing. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment including a diagnosis of clinical depression which makes me struggle to prioritise anything important such as our relationship. Inevitably this has caused issues as I am unable to provide him with what he needs. When I was diagnosed I had a conversation with him about how I'm feeling and how he can help (giving me time being understanding) he said he will give me abit of space to deal with this and he's sure I will get better soon. That comment kind of upset me because I had already explained that I had been struggling for a very long time and my diagnosis does not mean I'm cured and that I will struggle with this for a long time, after explaining this again he said that that's not true and I will get better. Throughout our relationship I've also noticed other things that perhaps I am to blame for but just don't sit right with me for example I drink often and he does not however when I drink he judges me and says things like I will regret drinking then I get frustrated with him because when he does drink occasionally I do not judge him, he also has become freinds with a boy I used to have a freinds with benifits relationship with who was very manipulative and I would say abusive my boyfriend claims that 'he's changed' and 'would never do that now' I only got out of that situation a few months ago and feel extremely uncomfortable that my boyfriend and this boy are now freinds and talk about me to each other. I don't really know what to do as right now I do not trust my boyfriend or belive that he values me as much as he says I don't know if we just aren't suited to each other. He says he will never break up with me even if he wants to so there is not chance of him ending things if he's unhappy. I just don't know if I should try and be more understanding of his needs and learn to prioritise better?
