He doesn't care about driving out to see me or the cost of gas. He says both of those things doesn't matter. Him and I are getting along a lot better now.

We tried doing other things like the movies, going thrift store shopping, local activities the zoo, aquarium, shopping, mall, going out to eat, etc. But all of these activities cost money.

He tells me in his previous relationships he would just hang with his Girlfriend, and they would just relax watching TV, movie, at home, or just hang out enjoying each other's company, they didn't need to go out and spend money etc.

Him and I are almost 29 years old, and we are still young and going out and doing these activities should be fun, yeah they cost money and time to drive to them but it is worth it. Staying in and watching TV, movies, at home, is for older folk to do. Yeah some young people like it too but come on.

But what do you think, and what do you guys do when you get together with your partners?
Sounds like he considers you more than a bit high-maintainance.. And perhaps you find him boring. If you can't just chill out and spend quality time w/ your man @ home, then No - going out spending $$$ just to keep yourselves "entertained" is not worth it.

Why not alternate - go out this week and stay home next week.

No wonder she doesn't want to stay home. It would be really boring.

If this is true, then that explains it. She stays home all day waiting for him to show up. She doesn't appreciate that after working 40 (or whatever) hours, sometimes you just wanting to relax at home. Relationships require effort, but it shouldn't be a job.

So him going out with his friends after a 40 hour week is fine, but I get put on the back burner? I don't think thats fair or right.

You will never break-up with him no matter how bad he treats you.

He knows this too.

It's not about fair or right. It's about: he wants to go out with his friends. He does not want to go out with you.

He's not being unfair. He is making choices based in what he wants. He is making it so obvious that he doesn't want to be in this relationship. That's how he feels. You can't change it. He can't change it.

He won't do the official breaking up, so you need to. Move on and each of you can find a better suited partner. Why keep trying to force this?
