Help with listening comprehension in language I already speak.

Hi all. English is my first language and in Spanish I'm B2. I speak Spanish. My boyfriend only speaks Spanish. I've had multiple close relationships with people who only speak Spanish. I took Spanish in school for five years, and lived in a Spanish-speaking country for six months. I don't know why for the life of me I struggle so much to understand spoken Spanish. Even with my boyfriend, who speaks an easy Peruvian dialect, I only understand like 70% of what he says at his natural pace, and sometimes I don't even catch the really simple things he says to me. I can understand movies, documentaries, and people talking to me on the street just fine. I can read just fine. I can speak fine. But even with easy dialects, it's hard for me to understand, and with more challenging dialects I can only understand like 50% of what they're saying. Is there anything I can do to understand spoken Spanish better? I'm already around it a lot with my bf and his family but I'm still struggling.
