When we get into arguments my boyfriend tells me he deserves better, & breathes really heavily. What do I do to help myself?

I get easily irritated with my boyfriend because when we wake up typically he'll ask if he can play his video games, that will go on for 3-6 hrs till 2-4 pm. He talks about his games he's playing a lot, more than anything else lately. I try listening, I really do, but it's not interesting to me because he's already on for hours a day. He has work 2-4 days a week as a janitor at a hotel. (I'm 17 he's 18 almost 19) Work hasn't been treating me right lately.

He tells me he does everything for me tho, more than I recognize him for & that I take him for granted. I clean our clothes, bedding, counter tops & house floors more than anyone in his family house of 5 does.. I don't like to keep track but it's stressing me out how he says he deserves better when I lash out during arguments.. He repeats himself & it's unnecessary I tell him that.

I have been through a lot more trauma & stress from my past that no other 14-16 year olds have. Sometimes I wonder if we're even ready for a relationship but he tells me everyday he can see us with children & that he is going to marry me, we can save up for an apartment & get animal's before children, do so many things before them too. I do want these things too, I want to be able to care about him & his feelings. I have never had my own sense of independence yet though & I am thinking about more recently..
