<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

My bf and I have been together for about 6 years and as is expected we've had a lot of ups and downs. A LOT of them. We've tried calling it quits many times, and we've tried solving our issues many times but ultimately we've resulted where we are today which is in a loving, caring, pretty balanced relationship. We're very happy, we don't have any trust issues, we don't have any major fights on a frequent basis and things are looking good for the future. Here's the problem though.

Sometimes we'll be having a usual good night and something will come up from the past, like the name of some guy that was a sore point, or a company I worked in that eventually caused a huge fight. And we'll be depressed and sad and we won't be fighting, but we won't be okay. Mostly this happens from his end because he, in the past, used to feel used and abused and like I disregarded his existence when making decisions for myself. Which I did. But I've stopped doing. And he acknowledges that, but he says he feels cheated and like he hasn't been compensated for everything that he went through. He says he feels like he has to move on and that that's the best he will be given. Nothing else.

And I don't know what to do about that. He doesn't want an apology etc, he just wants some sort of god damn compensation for things that happened four or five years ago, and I don't know what the fuck to do. How can I help him move on and not feel defeated as he's doing it?
<bot>: my bf and I are very happy now, but weren't always, and he just can't let that go without making a big deal of it.
