many times when someone talks too much about how something is so good, its to cover up the truth. for all you know he spends his nights in his boxers eating ice cream out of the container.
not saying this is or isnt the case, but you cant put too much weight on what they say. in the same respect you dont show him the truth from your side.
not attempting to mind-read or not fantasizing about their lives will save you much self-created anguish in the long run. just continue focusing on yourself.
