I sometimes feel dragged down by my [24m] boyfriend

I appreciate the time you took to write this and I'm sorry you don't get well with your gf lately.

Before I met him I thought I will never change and I will remain scared of men and relationships and basically scared of everything forever. He helped me, he taught me to love. I learned a lot from him and I'm sure he learned a lot from me. He changes, but yes, the progress is slow.

I don't blame him. I had to learn the 'adult things' since 18-19 whole he just recently started doing so.

Also, whenever we go together I always pay half (my part) and sometimes something of his part too - when he remains out of money.

He always says he will compensate me. Sometimes he does. Sometimes he doesn't. But life and love is not about tracking who gives more, materially speaking.

I feel confident we can change together. I am aware I have to grow too and be happy. But I ca't let a person who tries to change just because the progress is not fast. Maybe my approach is not right. That's why I'm looking for some advice

I appreciate your message and I wish you luck
