Talk to him about it. It's possible he doesn't see you as one of his friends, and more as someone who loves him and cares for him.

The most important thing is that you feel free and happy in whatever environment, and your boyfriend shouldn't have too much say in that.

You can't make someone love you. Does he empathize with you and consider your feelings without you telling him to? If he doesn't, you might want to move on. Marrying someone who doesn't love you probably won't end well in most cases.

It depends on what you think is 'wrong'. This article is meant to help you understand your boyfriend's perspective and that these things are normal. Maybe it's just you. If there is a real problem, you need to be more specific and describe it in your question. Consider talking to an impartial person outside of your relationship and seeing what they think.

It depends on how you are embarrassing him. It's generally wrong to deliberately embarrass somebody, unless it's in a really mild and friendly way you know they won't be upset by.

If it's something like you two having different comfort levels with PDA, being cutesy with each other in public, etc., then you should try to talk about it and come to some agreement.
