First, past tense of seek is sought.
Second, you may have been trying to give "his side" but the way you conveyed it was in defense of him. The reason that no one really cared about his side is that we all have much more life experience, so we have either experienced a boyfriend with similar reactions or know someone who has. He is not unique.
Even if he is not your first serious boyfriend, math is not in your favor. You have said that you are a senior in college and have been with him for 5 years. Therefore, if you had a serious boyfriend before that, we are stretching way back into high school.
It may be time for you to get to know yourself as a single person. If he is as great as you seem to think he is (he is not, BTW) he will understand and give you space.
Go read the thread about "What do you say to people when they ask why you aren't married." Post after post has women who say that they grew stronger through their 20s when they were not in a commited relationship. That is not to say there is anything wrong with a relationship, it is just that you don't that aspect of life.
Beyond that, it is evident that posters are growing weary with you because this thread is going nowhere. You pop on here, choose the posts to respond to, and yet have done nothing to change your life. You are in the exact same place as you were in post 1. People are getting more blunt because you don't seem to be internalizing anything... instead you just defend this guy who does NOT have your interests in mind.
Thus, come back and let us know when you actually do something and it sticks. Then we will be interested. Until then, let's move on.
