Should I fix it or end it? [me-21f, with my boyfriend-22m of 1 year]

When there's a compromise... I guess it's usually me.. but again, there are few compromises. Lately I've become reluctant to compromise because he doesn't. The situations that involve potential compromise needing to happen usually involve plans/the potential to hang out, etc. So basically we just wind up not seeing each other even though we could have.

As far as not respecting my feeling about something.. an instance happened about a week ago when I felt strongly uncomfortable with something. It was a very very simple dilemma and the compromise (that would be on his part) would have little to no effect on anything.. it was literally the choice of going one route or the other. One route involved potential danger (probably not but I was uncomfortable), and the other didn't. Instead of respecting my feeling, he argued with me until the point where I just said that it wasn't even worth going and that I was just going to head home.. at that point he tried to fix things.

When we try to talk or be open I am always receptive and respectful of what he has to say... he is usually open to listening but lately he has been more likely to shut me down.

As far as sacrifice goes.. I just have this thing about needing to give him the most freedom I can, short of just not being in a relationship.. so I never ask for sacrifice.. but I don't know if he'd give it? He has in the past... I don't know if that makes sense but at this point it isn't clear.
