What do you do when you feel disappointed in your partner/relationship? Sometimes I wish he would have acted differently in certain situations, or said something different. I know that no one’s perfect, everyone makes mistakes, and I have also done/said a fair share or regrettable things. I wish my boyfriend would be more of a man and grow up. I’m sick of feeling like I have to parent him because he can’t act like a grown man himself. I feel disappointed because I know the potential he has to be a better man for me and for our relationship. I have asked him for more help at home, told him chores to do, tried to push him into things, help him make better decisions, etc. and I realised that him acting this immature is making me take the mother-role in our relationship. I can't help but feel like maybe this is coming to an end. I have been very patient with him, and it has almost been a year since we started dating. I feel hopeless and empty because he has not changed this far, and he probably won't either. I guess I just want someone to tell me how to confront him about it, and guide me in the right direction here. I have almost given up in believing that he is the right man for me.
