I need genuine help and advice.
Me and my boyfriend (M 19) and me (F 18) have been together for a year and a half, we started dating in high-school and have been best friends since we were little, he's my neighbor or was when I lived with my parents. He's always been really insecure in our relationship as this is his first ever relationship, but I have always always supported him and reassure him over and over. But recently he's been acting like a total nother person we fight over everything because anything I do makes him uncomfortable. He doesn't like anything I'm in to he makes fun of then such as Harry potter, Taylor swift ect. But when it comes to his interest I learn everything I can about them. I have recently started sharing my feelings, but everytime I do a fight breaks out, our biggest fight was when he was over at my apartment and was acting completely different that morning I had asked him what was wrong and he wouldn't tell me he held me like he was saying goodbye and that broke me bc he didn't say anything to me and so I cried while he was holding me, when he finally told me what was wrong he said he wasn't the man I needed I deserved better. This through me off completely as I've always reassured him he doesn't have his license or a working car and still lives with his parents but I told him that didn't bother me as we where young but he shut down completely leading me to ask if he was wanting space he didn't say anything just said if thats what you want and then I said no not really but he kept saying its what I wanted or what I though we needed, so I told him to leave my house if he wanted space, he had to call his dad to get him. Im jn the other room at this point crying while he's on titok like nothing happened fast forward 2 days later he's texting that he physically hurts and ect and he tells me it all started when he went through my phone and that hes sorry for soing it and how he didn'tfind anything. So I bring him back into my life we go on dates he buys me things like an apology every time after. Now it is 2 weeks later and we are fighting again he stayed the weekend at my apartment and he starts telling me how he doesn't even know me and how I've changed ect. Then he goes through my phone again but my messages with my best friend(f 19) who he says he's hated, me and her have been friends for 10 yrs and says he's upset over the edits I send her. And explains that he hates celebrity crushes and its wierd and ect. I finally snap and let everything out all my feelings of not being good enough of him only wanting me as a girlfriend not a person, he calls me and says he doesn't know what I want him to do. He says he's trying. Him trying is him finally getting his license. When he asked for examples and I give them to him he counters them as my fault or how he was raised.
What im trying to get at is should I break up with him? I feel so guilty because he has bought things in my apartment and has bought me so many new things and he tells me im his only friend and always how he's alone. I dont want to be the bad guy but I feel like I need to be.
Tl;dr I dont want to break up but it feels like there's no change happening am I in the wrong bc he's trying or says hes trying?
