You sound so sweet , ALL you feel is important and in no way petty. Your boyfriend on the other hand... well to put it kindly he sounds like a pr*ck. Kindest thing I can say, Kick him to the curb. You aren't a doormat so don't allow anyone to treat you as such darling. Don't mean to sound harsh but take a hard look at this and I'm sure you can do FAR better... Peace and love sweetheart
