I'll pick up on a minor point that you mention in passing first: why is your mother getting involved in your relationship with your boyfriend? For me, that would make sense only if you were both thirteen or something.
From what you say, it sounds like your boyfriend has problems hearing your requests and acting on them. That implies a lack of respect for you, and I think you'd be sensible to take a step back and think seriously about whether you really want to spend time with the guy.
Angelandme is right: established relationships tend not to involve a lot of explicit compromising. But I think that's either because the people were basically very simpatico from the start, or they're emotionally mature and they've learned that you have to modify your expectations based on what you know about the other person.
