My (23F) boyfriend (24M) thinks that I am putting him on a pedestal, and that it’s damaging their relationship.

TLDR:<br>My boyfriend and I were talking about our relationship, and he told me that he sees a significant difference between “love” and infatuation, and how I’m putting him on a pedestal. He also mentioned that he can’t really love people, and that he can’t remember a time when he loved someone.<br><br>Long:<br>My boyfriend and I were talking, and he told me that he doesn’t really believe in the idea of “soulmates”, and that he doesn’t think he would be capable of loving someone for the rest of his life. He said that he can’t remember a time when he really loved someone, as opposed to being infatuated. I asked if he thought he loved me, and he said he does. (Apology: I know the phrasing for this part was very weird, and it sounds like I’m saying my boyfriend only loves himself, and that’s not the case at all)<br><br>He went on to say that he thinks that I’m putting him on a pedestal, and that he doesn’t want me to do that, but doesn’t really know how to bring it up. He said he sees a significant difference between loving someone and infatuation, and that I am basically infatuated with him.<br><br>How I feel:<br>I love him a lot, and I want to make him happy, so if putting him on a pedestal is what that takes, I’ll do that. I don’t know if I should be trying to bring us back down to earth, or if I should continue loving him the way I am. Just to be clear, I’ve never been in a relationship this serious before, so I’m not sure if I would know the difference between infatuation and being in love.
