You are not being selfish at all. Thing is what Trippin said, your bf sounds like he's acting spoiled. It seems to me, based on your description of his reasons, that they are, like you said, all excuses. The reason that seems to be apparent to me is not for the locality in which you live and it's inconveniences, but that he wants to be the one to pick and choose where he lives and he wants to be in control of that choice more than anything.

His reasons, including his phone reception are ridiculously empty.

You say you can't live with your brother. I am sure you have valid reasons but to be honest, I wonder if you should live with this guy either. He seems to be a big bag of problems to bring into your relationship if he lives with you.

I think you should pass on living with him.
