Relationship advice for 25/F

I just got out of something like this and it did not end well. I grew up with him, he was my bestfriend all throughout highschool. I thought since we were such good friends we could be an even better couple. To start, it was amazing. So much love, amazing sex, always leaving me gifts and telling me he loved me. After the immaturity and miscommunication set in, I noticed I was ignoring so many red flags from the very beginning.

Immaturity - so, so embarrassing. It got to a point where the things he said would make me angry (and question the relationship). He would have the most childish conversations with his group of friends on Skype, it was like reading a bathroom wall in highschool. Even worse when his immaturity would show in public, he once said "ewwww" while making puking sounds to an overweight lady across from us at the beach. I should of left him there.

Miscommunication also lead into immaturity. We'd fight forever, he'd never apologize for being wrong, always blame me. Whenever I would call him out on being childish, he would become offended. It was a mess.

I know how you feel when you say no one will love you the same. I learned love should never be compared. (The only way I compare "love" is when I leave a toxic relationship and realize how much love was missing) What you share with him is incomparable because it's only between you two. But if you look at it like: "No one will love me the same" it's negative and not good for your self worth. He may love you perfectly one way, but if you can't communicate and he's immature to the point where you think "How did you say that at your age?" then those thoughts will linger with you and eat away your happiness. I always suggest to talk about it with your partner to see if there is room for improvement.
