My Spanish bf (24M) and I (24F) live together for 3 years now. He works and I am a full-time student. During these 3 years he spent all of his free days visiting his family and friends. He organised beach trips with his sister, a Miami trip with his friend, and many other activities that didn't include me. I wanted to spend vacations together, so sometimes he was letting me come with him and his family. I always had an awful time with them (they disrespect me in many ways, I don't like them and they don't like me but that's not the point), however I was always swallowing my pride and kept trying to have a quality time with my boyfriend.
Recently, I brought up to him that I feel neglected and that I would like to spend holidays together - without his family. He understood, but said that since we live together we can spend every day together. And he can visit his family only on his free days (which is 2 months per year). That was supposed to shut me up, but I quite don't get it. I know Spanish culture is very focused on family values, but I feel like I don't matter to him at all.
In short, I told him I am not going to spend time with his family because they are rude to me, but I still want to have some trips with him. He refused. He said he isn't going to waste his free days like that, when we live together anyway.
I don't know. I feel like he is choosing his family over me, but maybe I'm overreacting.
Care to add, we have problems in our relationship, many issues to solve. We never go out because he is too tired after work, and we barely spend time together (even though we live together). I guess I always thought that some trips would help us out, but it feels like it can only happen with his family.
Should I just end this relationship?
TLDR: My bf(24M) refuses to spend his holidays without his family. It's been three years and not even once we went for a trip alone. I'm just sad and consider breaking up but maybe I'm just going crazy.

Being able to not talk to him about serious issues is why you should break up.
Youโre focusing on the wrong thing
