<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

First of all I want you all to know my boyfriend is the kind of guy who would never say or do anything to purposely upset me. (Now I'll try make this quick)

So although he's one of the sweetest guys I know I can't help but be hurt by some of the things he says. I know he doesn't mean to but it's like he feels like he's dating a child. 

As someone whose spent a lot of her childhood in different countries (mainly India) I've actually had to grow up a lot quicker than I would have liked. (For different reasons which would take way too much time to explain) Obviously I'm still only 17 and have a lot to learn however I don't appreciate the feeling like he's putting me down. It's almost like he keeps reminding me that he's the adult so therefore I'm the child and I don't know as much. 

It's just frustrating really and it makes me feel stupid at the same time. Honestly age doesn't matter all that much if you look at the experiences and such that the person has been through. 

I think what I'm saying is I want to feel more like his equal, not a kid he has to look after and show me how to do everything. I'm not the quickest person and certainly not the smartest, but I don't pretend to be so I don't think I should be made feel that way. 

I don't know, he's amazing and I love him but it's upsetting me and I just don't really know how to say that. 

Advice?
