Hopeful agony auntPerhaps its not so much that he is not changing, perhaps it is just the relationship has matured and perhaps is not best for you anymore.

Perhaps you used to put up with this behaviour when things were great but now, maybe it seems childish.

I would analyse the whole relationship because if you are interested in other people, I think perhaps it is time to say good bye.

As they say, men marry women hoping they will never change but they do. women marry men hoping they will change but they never do.

tux agony auntWhy are you trying to change him? Is it because he is childish or is it because he doesn't act like the other guy you seem to like? I mean what do you consider childish? what exactly does he do to be called childish? It's hard to change someone if they don't want to be changed. If you don't like the way he acts, then why are you still with him after 9 years? 9 years is a long time to finally realize he's being childish.

Floppy agony auntHello,

my advice is that you should talk to your boyfriend about his actions again, make him realise that it is really upsetting you and that you are getting put off by him. Make him understand how you feel, and if he doesn't grow up then move on! If he loves you he will come after you!

No guy should be made to change, but if his actions are upsetting you, he should understand and try to be a bit more 'grown up.' Good luck!
