@Bill: Yes, that's true. He talks with his friends usually every day.

@Rose76: I suppose that could be. I didn't know he lacked commitment since he and I both believed that him moving away to live with me was a big sign of commitment, and he's brought it up before to show how serious he is. Yeah, if he needs more time to gain maturity, I definitely don't want to hinder that. And the thing is, I want to feel like I'm more important, like I did when I lived alone. I want to work on bettering myself.

It's just, how am I supposed to explain that to him? He says that I'm not giving him a chance when I say I don't believe he'll change, when I bring up past behavior, and he gives examples of how he changed, and treats me like I'm being a bad person for not thinking he's "good enough."

He gets really upset and sad when he thinks I'm telling him he's not good enough.

He doesn't say I'm asking too much, but he seems to be upset that I don't understand that he needs that time alone.

When he's playing games with his friends, he doesn't let me join in or play, since he's worried that bringing in his girlfriend would make everyone uncomfortable.
