I want to leave my relationship of 3 years

Ive been with my boyfriend for 3 years now, we're high school sweethearts. But lately I been fantasizing about leaving him and finding an older and more mature man that would know how to take care of me. He's lied to me before and I'm not sure I'll ever trust him the same again. I'm just kinda over us and wanting something new. I want someone who will be honest with me and not treat me roughly or rudely. I don't want to be called names and be manhandled all the damn time, I want to be treated delicately and I want him to love me in the way I need it. I need physical affection and sweet talking, not play fighting and name calling. But I worry there's no one else out there for me. what if he's the only person who will ever love me, what if I can never do better than him. I'm an emotional person and I really want to be treated better, but what if there's nothing better for me. I love him and I don't think I could ever really let him go but deep deep down, I know that were not right for each other, I want a different future than he does, I want a loving person by my side, I don't want kids like he does, I don't want a party lifestyle, I want to settle down and get married in the next 5 years, but every time I bring that up he seems so indifferent about us getting married, I want someone who will sure of me. I want to leave, I want someone to find me and be the person who makes me realize I can do better than him.
