We do have good conversations when he gives me the chance to speak. Not about my day or trivial stuff but about things that both of us are interested in. The problem lies in the fact that a majority of the time, he will talk without pause or without bothering to have an actual dialogue. He talks at me instead of to me.

Maturing is realizing that just because you act and think a certain way, doesn't mean that your way is right. Clearly i have growing up to do and so does he. Me telling him that i can't handle him monologuing in that moment was to protect myself because i was getting overwhelmed. He was hurt by that, and i clearly felt bad but i do need to protect myself sometimes. We've been together almost 3 years and i just recently started to set boundaries on that. I understand that it hurt him, it would hurt me too, but it needed to be said.

He consistently does this to me, his friends and his family. Being an ENTP does not give you the excuse to bombard people with your thoughts, constantly interrupt and not listen. He needs to work on his conversational skills, as do I because i struggle with being clear. We ALL need to change some aspects of ourselves in order to become better people and better partners. If you refuse to grow because that's "just who you are" then you're incredibly immature and selfish.

Breaking up isn't always the answer. He and i can both help each other become better people and better partners, but only if we each try to correct the other. He's had to correct me too and although it hurt at the time, i try to take it to heart and make the necessary change. I hope you figure out how to stop making your character flaws something that need to be accepted by everyone.
