Upvoted for not conditioning your behavior on romantic love!
I feel a strong urge to give some advice that may or may not be applicable, so feel free to disregard: a significant percentage of relationships like yours eventually end because the boy grows too emotionally dependent, which makes the girl lose attraction. So try to take choices that make your boyfriend a stronger person.
Yes. This applies (less frequently) to too-dependent females also. Presumably "hey, maybe I could do a lot better" is the obvious implication - so if other factors defeat that implication, I guess it's fine or may even be pleasant or reassuring.
