Boyfriend spends a lot of time with his friends. What should I do?

[Anonymous]

He spends almost every weekend with them. Goes to their house, smokes and drinks, comes home around 1am. I love with him and we have been dating for almost 2 years. I feel kind of lost to be honest. I want him to be able to have a life outside of me and our relationship and have good friends, but sometimes I feel like he prioritizes them over me. We rarely go on dates anymore. And when we do he asks “why didn’t we bring anyone along with us.” I just wish he didn’t take me for granted. I love him so much and can see us together for a long time. I wish he would just appreciate me. I spend more time with his family than him sometimes. I also go out with his friends. I’ve asked him to take me on dates but tells me they are expensive (which is literally not true at all), but goes out and spends $80 worth of booze. Maybe he isn’t afraid of losing me, so he takes me for granted. Tips? Also telling me to break up is not the advice I’m looking for right now. I truly love him and want us to work out, but I feel like I’m putting in my effort and can’t afford to put in much more. Thank you :)

Can’t tell if this was a joke, but it made me laugh. He would never.
