Someone who said that to me would no longer be a friend, much less a boyfriend.
I consider a statement like that to be a huge red flag. This guy is trying to make you feel worthless, like he's doing you a favor by being your boyfriend.
He is NOT treating you well, he's just treating you crappy in a different way than others have before.
There are GOOD men out there. Seriously. You just have to keep looking, and be willing to throw back the fish that aren't worth keeping. You deserve someone who is supportive of your interests, and loves you for who you are. Remember, whether he loves you are not is irrelevant here. He isn't making you happy, so this isn't going to work. Try again with someone more compatible.
