Its quite simple actually. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

 

And, if he's not treating you the way you want to be treated, then you need to communicate and ask for what you want. He's not a mind reader, don't expect that he will just know what you want or expect from him.

 

Expecting him to pick you up and drop you off... Well, that seems a little demanding to me. Sure, it may be cute in the beginning, but it would get old pretty quickly.

 

If cheating is a deal breaker for you, tell him that. As for the smaller things that really don't matter, let them go... Err on the side of kindness and understanding.

 

The older I get, the less I expect of a partner and the less I demand... because, I see what is really important in creating a happy and harmonious life and how unhealthy unrealistic expectations are in a long term relationship.

 

And as always, if you really don't like the way that he is treating you, you always have the option of voting with your feet.

OP: Would you mind clarifying your driving/living situation:

 

Do you have a driver’s license? If not, what prevents you from getting one? Do you have access to a car? If not, do you usually take the bus or subway to go to work/do errands/attend social activity? Also, do you live with your family or have other roommates that makes it inconvenient for your bf to visit?
