Hi I hope that I have found a supportive community because I have never requested advice from strangers like this before, but I was just upset and overwhelmed when I originally posted this thread. I was upset with my situation and my natural inclination probably was to try to pass some blame along to my boyfriend. So I am sure that this came across in my original post. I think that is why everyone wanted to make sure to point out my responsibility, and not put all of the blame on my boyfriend. He treats me well as far as he does not abuse me in any way, and he is attentive to me. But he is not what I am used to in a man. I am just used to the intellectual type and he is the street type. But he is super social, and gets along well with everyone. He, did not graduate high school, does not want to return to school and cannot really relate to my educational goals. He is super street savvy, has a huge supportive family.
I have been unsuccessfully trying to change him into a politically correct, intellectual type for the past year. He is so affectionate and attentive and I need that right now. I realize though that it is futile to try to change him. He wants to control his drinking but other than that he is happy with himself and his lifestyle.
