How to help my bf wake up and gain maturity? This man not a provider nor does he care to do anything. Not understanding. Not emotional. No goals or plans except to be rich and famous.

I feel that so heavy girl, same exact issue with my ex, and it was so damn frustrating to watch. Nothing i said or did could change his outlook or behavior, always an “ill figure it out later” or “i’ll do it later” until he dropped out of school, quit his job, and started having that same attitude w our relationship. I really loved him and saw so much of his potential, but eventually js had to wake up and break up.

It just doesn’t seem like he’s ready to be responsible in his own life/w himself much less a relationship. It’s not your job to mommy him. However, if you are looking to try and fix things, maybe consider having a serious talk w him, sit him down and explain that this isn’t working for you if you haven’t already, and you’re not going to stick around unless there is real solid change. Also, if you haven’t been dating for super long and don’t completely know his mental ins-and outs consider

he’s your boyfriend, not your husband. what do you expect him to provide? what do you give in return?

I don’t need providing, but I meant to say I don’t see the potential of him being one. I should rephrase and say he is not capable of being independent and lacks the responsibility

-inquiring about his mental health. Especially if this is a newer behavior/attitude thats developed w/in the past few months. If he’s depressed/going through something it may be part of the issue.

anyways, if you need anything feel free to reach out. Obv we don’t know the ins-and -outs of yalls relationship from one paragraph, but ik from experience that dating someone like that gets exhausting esp when it feels like u rly have ur shit tgthr/are putting in more effort as much as you may love that person
