My (27F) boyfriend (28M) is upset with me for wanting to have girls night without inviting him.

I'm not sure what to make of all of this. A common theme when there's a disagreement is how much he misses his family, that he doesn't have that support system like I do because my family lives fairly close (two hours away) while his is across the country. I feel bad about that, but I can't do anything other than be here for him. I can't just overlook everything because he made a sacrifice to be with me. I've made plenty of my own. We both made decisions to be together... so I guess it shouldn't forever be used as a trump card.

We talked last night a few times and it came down to him telling me that when he's happy, he's so happy with me. But he's so resentful of me right now. He grudgingly admitted that maybe he is the problem, especially if girl's night is an accepted thing across the board while he has a problem with it. He gave me the "just do what you want" laced with salt. I have no idea how to move forward from here. His past relationship was with someone very passive and "go with the flow", so she kind of just went along with whatever. I'm not like that, which he told me he loves, but now I'm really wondering if he really does...

I'll look into that website. Thank you for the advice, as much as it hurts to read. I think anyone is capable of changing, but it comes down to if he wants to.
