AIO for feeling hurt that my (now ex) bf didn’t share the sympathy for me that i had for him?

it says it requires a flair and this is mostly school related i think lol disclaimer: this happened when i was 17 and was also written at that time but i hadn’t posted it for a fear that my ex might see it. we didn’t break up until over a year later.

Hi so I’m 17 and my boyfriend is 16. We’ve been together for almost a year and over the time we’ve been together I’ve started to feel like he just doesn’t care about me the same way I care about him. I’ve really just started realizing it today when he was talking about his credits for the semester being taken away. We both have really bad mental issues that lead to us staying home from school. This has caused issues in class and as a result we’re at risk for our credits being taken. When he told me about this today I spent the day consoling him and telling him that it’d be okay. And at first it was fine until I remembered when I told him about the same thing happening to me a while ago and he told me to do better and “thug it out”. It really made me think because he’s said openly that he doesn’t know how to take care of me and repeatedly has said he’s gonna try and figure it out but almost any time that he’s gotten that opportunity he’s just blown me off. Anytime I tell him about these things he gets upset and worries I’ll leave him and I end up comforting and taking care of him and getting none of the reassurance and care that I need. He’s always saying that I deserve care too and I could be with someone so much nicer than him but I don’t want anyone else but I’m so tired of trying to get him to act right. Is there anything anyone can tell me to make my situation better without leaving my boyfriend?
