Relationship Stress

I met a guy late 2024 we started dating early January 2025 and truth is he has been nice to me compared to my previous relationship where I was the one who will go beyond to support and still be under appreciated. I’m a 28 years old lady doing well for myself. I can afford all the essentials I need for myself and for my loved ones. My Partner is a family oriented man like he loves and care for his parent and siblings and they are so close, he is a very generous man who doesn’t like to see anyone he loves suffer or even want for anything while neglecting his own mission in life. The problem now is he’s proud and dont always listen to advice both from me and his family. You can’t tell him how to spend his money or even advise on little matter he will always shut me down so, most times I just keep quiet and mind my business. But for how long will I do that?

I am an intelligent woman who have a lot to give my partner in all ways and if during relationship I can’t talk to him or even help him make decisions is it when we are married that he will listen to me? I’m just tired of him not listening to me and I don’t know if I should just leave the relationship and focus on myself. Sometimes it’s not about what you do or how much you love and provides for your partner, but also how you let them help you grow and make better decisions most time matters. Relationships is also helping each other grow and make better decisions. Thank you guys for listening to my rant.
