I ‘18F’ and bf ‘20M’ are breaking up because of rage baiting,is this just my hormones or am I valid?

I’ve been in a relationship for 3 years and I’m feeling really drained. I’ve thought about ending it before, but whenever I try, it turns into long conversations about giving it another chance.

I’ve tried explaining how certain behaviors make me feel. For example, I once brought up something serious about feeling unheard, and the response shifted to a completely different topic about food. It felt dismissive. Even after apologies, the same communication pattern continues.

When I ask direct questions, I sometimes get memes, gifs, or unrelated content instead of an actual answer. Serious conversations don’t really happen.

After discussing change and improvement, things seemed like they would be different, but the pattern returned quickly.

There’s also an ongoing point about driving me to and from work being a major contribution. I appreciate rides, but I also contribute financially most of the time right now, though that hasn’t always been the case.

I’ve also been dealing with hormonal changes and mood swings for a few months, which has made everything feel more intense. I just needed to get this off my chest.
