My 26M and Bf 23M have been together 1.5years, and everything is about him! He talks non stop about work his friends what happened to him that day etc and I always give him my full attention even though I may not know the people from work he is talking about. He expects me to retain every detail though and if I mix people up or get forget something he told me about he gets really upset and annoyed at me. But if I try and tell a story or tell him what happened to me you can tell he is not listening and is just waiting for me to stop talking so we can talk about him again. It may seem minor but when this goes on all the time it is really frustrating and makes me feel like what happens to me does not matter as much!
When it comes to friends he always talks about how his friends are better than mine and mine are no fun, he thinks that he is the centre of everything and the world revolves around him as. I do everything I can to help him out and would collect him and drop him places he needs to go as he does not drive, but if I ask him for something which I avoid as much as possible there is always an issue and he almost makes me feel bad for asking.
I don’t really know what kind of responses I expect I guess I just need somewhere to vent but if anyone has any advice it would really be appreciated!
TLDR: my boyfriend only cares about himself, anything I ask him to do is a chore but expects me to drop everything for him. He doesn’t listen to what I have to say and gets annoyed if I don’t remember every detail of what he has told me.

And the rest of the relationship, does it follow this pattern?
If you’ve looked at the totality of your relationship and have concluded that he hardly cares about you, this situation isn’t going to fix itself.
Have you talked to him about how his behavior makes you feel? How have those conversations gone?
Why are you tolerating this nonsense?! Unbelievable… 🤦🏻♀️
