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

I started dating my friend of 5 years in March. Our friendship started off quickly and full of spontaneity in 2008 and we became really close on a roadtrip, where we got matching tattoos. Our relationship has come on pretty quickly and strongly. It's like nothing I've ever experienced, which is a great thing. He makes me happy and feel confident! One of the only downsides to our relationship is that we're almost 1,000 miles apart and unsure of when we'll actually be able to be together.

The past coupleo of weeks, I've been getting this weird vibe from him, like maybe he's getting cold feet. We spoke tonight and sort of laid everything out on the table. He told me that he doesn't like big tattoos and that he actually doesn't like my tattoos at all. This was a bit of a surprise and actually really hurt me. My tattoos are a permanent part of my life and they're by no means small. He also said he hates that I'm vegetarian and it's actually annoying (for clarification, I'm not preachy and I do not force my lifestyle on him). He said he's been thinking, lately, about 20 years down the road and if he will be able to deal with these two major things.

I'm really shocked by this and really hurt. I'm not quite sure how to get by this without feeling a little bit of resentment toward him or even self-conscious about my body. As I mentioned before, he makes me so happy and confident... but no one has ever made me feel so shitty.

Any advice or similar situtations much appreciated.
<bot>: Boyfriend told me he hates my tattoos and that me being a vegetarian is annoying. I'm really hurt and not sure where to go from here while keeping the relationship healthy.
