We both live kind of far apart from each other so don't get to meet up that much but we're very close and I know it might sound stupid but in love. He's my very first proper boyfriend and was my first kiss too. I can tell him anything and I don't know what I'd do without him, I genuinely see myself being with him for a long time and even marrying him, which I know sounds naive and immature and I know I might change my mind about this but I feel that strongly.
However, we've been through a lot. About 1 month into the relationship, he was at a party and got really drunk and kissed another girl. He told me straight away and said he was so sorry and everything and even though I was extremely upset I decided to forgive him. He stopped drinking after that and has been sober since then.
Then about 2 months ago he was at my house and as he said I could go through his phone whenever i wanted, I went to look at his pictures, just to see what ones he had and not suspicious or anything. Then I found screenshots of me in my underwear when I had gone on webcam with him at the beginning of our relationship, and also a webcam screenshot of another girl. I was really shocked at this and didn't say anything until after he'd left. I confronted him and he told me he didn't even know why he did it and was immature then and the other girl he didn't even know why he still had that picture cause it was from ages ago etc. I felt betrayed at this as I was unsure and nervous about going on webcam like that and told him he wasn't allowed to take pictures and yet he lied to me. Anyway, eventually i forgave him for that too. He loves me so much though and has cried about the things he's done and when I nearly broke up with them. I lost a lot of trust in him over both these things but I'm gradually building it back up, I don't want to seem like an idiot and keep putting myself through this but I really do love him and care for him.
But nowadays we fall out practically everyday. He never called me unless I asked him to and this got me upset, thinking he didn't care but we sorted this out and he said he would call me everyday unless he was studying or something, I said I would no longer call and it was up to him because I felt kind of used and taken advantage of. Then tonight he didn't bother calling and I asked him why and he said sorry he was stoned (he occasionally smokes weed) and I got p*ssed at him, as I feel he's putting weed before me. Some days I just feel like I can't be bothered and I turn my phone off and ignore him and just think that I'm going to break up with him because we fall out so much now. We argue and he gets annoyed at me for nothing, then apologises so I end up feeling better. I just kind of feel like I'm not being fair on myself and I deserve better. He really does care for me and love me though and helps me with my problems and listens, but he just keeps hurting me.
Please give me advice as I really don't know what to do, I can't imagine being without him and it scares me but I don't want to be an idiot either. Thank you
