My boyfriend is really inexperienced with life, and even death of a loved one it’s really frustrating?

Don’t get me wrong because he is a great person. He’s kind and sweet. Unfortunately, he lacks so much life experience that he doesn’t understands, and makes selfish decisions. Or, he feels bad for someone going through a tough situation, but he truly don’t really know how it feels. He never experienced death of anyone. He doesn’t understand grief.

It started off with him telling me that nobody had ever betrayed in his life, and that he never had a bad friend. It’s because he truly believes he has great judgment of people. The truth is, he’s just shallow and oblivious due to his lack of experience. His friends constantly last minute bail on him. I met one of his so-called best buddy an engagement party, and this guy ignored us for the entire night to socialize with people who only benefited him in his career. When he came and spoke to us, he wanted my boyfriend to help him carry things into his car. That to me was not very nice.

The next thing that frustrated me was how he refused to stop going to the gym/going out for two weeks (due to covid)…so he can spend time with his grandpa in-person. His grandpa had a minor stroke and ended up in the emergency. His grandpa was sent home however, he was still feeling week. They don’t want covid risky people to visit. Old people always encourage their grandkids to live like and not care about them. But deep down, we all know they want to see their grandkids. My boyfriend used that to excuse himself from seeing his grandpa in person, and tried to convince me that Video call is what his grandpa would prefer. Then, he won’t listen to my personal experience which in-fact frustrated him. He concluded that he must not give up the gym or going out for the sake of his mental health.

My dog recently passed away. He felt really bad but he doesn’t connect at all with death. He did sympathize my sadness, but he also doesn’t understand grief.

Is this really frustrating?
