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

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 11 1/2 months, we met through mutual friends and connected right away on more superficial interests, and for a while things seemed fine. But as the relationship continues, we keep finding more things that we differ about (the main one being that I think that when you're in a long-term relationship, you should start making your SO a priority over friends, and while he claims to agree, he only acts on it when I say something). I care about him and enjoy his company, but at the same time it's become really depressing to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't seem to care if he spends time with me or with one of his friends, as long as he's hanging out with someone. To clarify, he does spend time with just me, but only after I asked for it, which is what makes me feel that I'm the only who cares that we get time together. And yes, I have spoken to him about this and every other issue we've run into, except for the idea that maybe we would be better as friends. I like having him in my life, and I think the reason I haven't said anything is because I'm afraid that if I suggest we take things down a notch, then it will all be over completely. Any advice?
P.S. Was a little upset while writing this, so if I forgot any details you think might be important, please feel free to ask me.
