Boyfriend confusion

My boyfriend feels good when he is recognized for the things that he does. I used to compliment him all the time because I was truly impressed. I admired his seriousness, ambition and work ethic. Then, I started to see this obnoxious cockiness come out of him in everything he does. He is constantly bragging to people about himself - how much he lifts, how many people he trains, how good his clients have become "because of him." He doesnt ask about the person unless its about lifting. He only seems interested in order to gain a new client or as he says to "take their money." Every time a client hits a new lifting record or does good on something...he turns it around on him and what he did to make them successful. He did he with me before too. I told him that it was ME, as a good athlete, that did the lift! He did not like that at all and still talks about it and how much it hurt him. He is a good at writing the lifting programs but I feel like he takes total credit for everything! I have never had a trainer be like that! I used to be the most important thing in his life, I guess that was the chase phase. Now, his life revolves around lifting and working. He told me that he didnt think I was the one because I get too emotional at times and that love wouldnt be enough to keep him here if he had the chance to train with a really good team. Even when we are home though he is always on the computer and constantly on his phone. He says he has to be available for his clients, which I understand, but it gets ridiculous sometimes...he texts them more than he talks with me. I truly feel like he cares more about them than me - he refused to help me move a lifting box when I needed help the other day. He said that I was strong enough to do it myself despite the fact it strained my back after moving one before. I understand that he was warming up and stretching and I would have waited but he responded so condescendingly about it. He does this all the time to me. I dont bug him that much but there are times when i just need help with stuff! When I addressed it afterwards in the car, he said he wont help people who can do things themself. Yet, no matter what we are doing he will answer his clients texts, messages and calls. He has told me they "pay him" so he has to be nice and attentive. I know that his job is unconventional but there are times when it would be nice to just have his attention fully. He says, what does it matter if we are just watching t.v.? He also gets mad if I nicely ask him to put the phone away once in a while. Its like Ive asked him to cut off his arml I feel invisible with him when we are in public and he constantly talks down to me in front of other people. I have addressed this with him but he claimsmthat I am crazy. I feel like this is all my fault because I allowed it all to happen...I let him practically move in without paying any bills; i lift with him all the time; I dont talk about my feelings because when I do it becomes an argument where I end up being blamed for not looking at his perspective and only thinking about myself. I have this built up resentment because of all of this which makes it hard to want to compliment him all the time about what he does. Its like he has this huge ego and I dont want to just add to it....if he wasnt so self-centered then I wouldnt have an issue with it! I am frustrated and sad because I dont know what to do avout the situation. I feel good about myself and my life but not this relationship. If there was something I was doing wrong I would change it. Because I live lifting and he is my coach and has accsess to the best gym around here, I feel stuck.

You haven't actually asked a question, but I think that's because you already know the answer. To sum it up, what you've said is: I'm not happy in my relationship and am not getting what I need from my partner, but I feel pressured to stay with him for my lifting career. You can try to break up and keep this guy as your coach, but if that's too awkward, just make a clean break. There will be other coaches and other gyms. There is only one YOU and you need to respect yourself, your time, and your life and get out of a relationship that's not working for you. No coach (or gym) is good enough to risk your happiness.
