Too submissive in my relationship

I saw a thread earlier about a girl saying her boyfriend was too 'nice', never stood up for himself etc., and I'm writing this because I am the same, but it is me who is too submissive in my relationship with my boyfriend. I have never gotten angry with him once.. I mean I have felt angry, but I have never shown it to him. We're in an LDR, so a lot of our communication is by typing, which does make things more difficult. I tend to bottle everything up for weeks and then cry one day and tell it all to him, which I know is not healthy. I can also be passive-aggressive sometimes because I am afraid of being direct and confrontational with him about stuff.. I also very much go out of my way to please him.. I very rarely disagree with him, I occasionally make decisions about where we go/what we eat etc. but I never insist that we must do anything, I am always saying I don't mind/anything/whatever you want, etc. As mentioned in the other post, if he's told me he doesn't like something, I do try to change it, such as clothes. I think I have told him to shut up once in a year and a half.. and I will apologise constantly, even if it is not my fault/i've done nothing wrong... But unlike the other poster, I'm not sure if this is my natural personality, but my obsession with having to please him/not offend him so he won't leave me.... it's quite draining and stressful but I don't know how to fix it.. Does anyone have any advice about how I could be more assertive
