relationships

hey ladies. i've been having some issues with my boyfriend recently... we've been in this huge "rough patch" for a little while now where we just have fights almost every time we see each other. most of the time i feel like i'm blaming him but i don't know what else to do because he hurts me a lot of the time. over fourth of july weekend, i went to his families house to celebrate with him and his family. he was with me most of the time but there were a few points where i felt like i was being a burden to him, and he'd walk off and do something else without me and not even tell me. i know it sounds really clingy and like i just want all his attention. i understand that he can't give me all his attention all the time, but if you invite me to something i expect to be involved in almost everything going on. not just left in the damn corner. the next week we went to the beach with his mom, aunt, and cousin. again, i was invited. when we got there, him and his cousin wanted to go swimming to this cool shallow part of the water that was a little far away, but i said okay anyway. i had never been there so i needed a little more guidance. again, i couldn't exactly keep up and they just swam in front of me. he didn't come back and make sure i was with him once. i swam back to shore and cried my eyes out. it just seems like i'm forgotten when i'm with him sometimes. he gets really excited about stuff and doesn't remember that he invited me and should make sure i'm there with him? and that oh maybe i'm his girlfriend? we both have the same expectations for eachother, so if i did this he'd be upset as well. that's probbaly part of our problem. i love him to death and we're been dating over a year now, so i want to make it work. i know deep down he really loves me a lot, and doesn't want me to go either. i just wanna know am i being dramatic or do i have a real reason to be hurt? it's been a few days and i'm still upset over it. please help me ladies❤️ thank you all.
