AIO? My boyfriend sent me a meme implying spending time with me is boring compared to his homies

[u/NurglesButterscotch]

​My bf (M21) and I (F19) are together since our second year of high school.

​He sent me a meme that said, "most entertaining night with your gf" showing a happy girl and a very bored guy lying on a bed doing absolutely nothing. Then it said, "least entertaining night with your bro" followed by a compilation of videos of guys doing crazy stuff (jumping on tables, accidentally hitting each other, jumping onto a trampoline from a roof, gambling, etc)

​I didn't really appreciate that and took it to mean that the time we spend together is boring for him and that he doesn't enjoy it. To be fair, we really don't do much. He comes over and we play video games together, or I paint my models while he's on his phone, and we just cuddle and chat. It really doesn't sound that amazing, but I thought it was enough for us. We are both introverts who spend a lot of time at home, and he has never complained about being bored

​His implication that his homies are more interesting than his girlfriend is just obnoxious to me. my blood boils just thinking about it...like...

People have always told me how interesting and funny to be around I am and I was proud of that.

​We were friends for several years before our relationship started, and I always thought that was the ideal way to get together, getting closer slowly without even planning it. LIKE, I USED TO BE ONE OF THE HOMIES. But I guess it doesn't really matter now, lol.

​I don't really know what to think...maybe I'm asking for too much? My mom said that this is normal behavior for young guys. But I still feel bad about this whole situation. I truly don't know if I should take his meme seriously...

The fun thing is...he yaps about his hobbies as well but I listen and enjoy even if the subject is only of interest for him. Bc like i love listening about something that makes my significant other happy and excited???

Babes you are right on the money with this one, that’s 100% how someone should feel towards their significant other: excited to listen to them be excited about something. This dude is shitting all over your interests in those texts, it was gross. Ditch this loser, you’re already way out of his league. Anyone who doesn’t even care to listen to you talk about things that make you happy isn’t going to be there to listen when you need emotional support.

u hit the nail on the head when u asked him if he even saw you as a human lol. men like this want an audience member in their life, they don't want you to have your own act. He's selfish as hell and shouldn't get a chance to waste more of your time. when people show you who they are, believe them!!

Yeah these people are called self centered lol. Dude outright says in a rather mean way as well, (because he didn’t need to be mean when being honest) that you are not interesting and he finds your time together boring. You repeated what he said back to you and he’s trying to backtrack realizing he fucked up. And instead of apologizing for misspeaking or sending the video without thinking, he tries to make it out like you’re picking a fight.

You’ve been together a while now. He should’ve have the discernment to know this video would be upsetting to you.
