Serious problems or growing pains?

in

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years and living together for about 10 months. We ware having problems. He is in school. I am a recent grad. We have gone through financial problems. I was depressed. We argued a lot. I was unfaithful on a very drunk and stupid night. We are trying to work through things. But I'm not sure that is the right choice. I do love home. But I was and sometimes still am unhappy. Please advise and be painfully honest.

Pro: 

I genuinely feel I love him

He makes me laugh

We have fun

We disagree about the dog, but he has made compromises

He's a hard worker

He can be very affectionate

He is not afraid of commitment

We love cooking and have a lot of similar interests

He loves my pets

Con: 

He doesn't clean up after himself

He doesn't take care of me when I'm sick

He expects me to baby him

He thinks hiking and camping are boring and they are a passion of mine.

I feel he thinks his interests and ambitions are more important because I don't know what I want to do with my life and he has his all figured out

We have both given each other reason for trust issues

Pro arguments

you

seems like you got a good guy- perhaps you are just sad and the only one who can help u with that is you...while it might be nice for him to go on a hike or the like, you should be able to do those things by yourself or with a friend rather... dont let anything stop you from doing what you love...my boyfriend wants to go backpacking... i dont! he can go by himself tho and that doesnt make him sad although im sure hed love for me to share his passion- theres other things we can only do together :)
