Question - (9 August 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 August 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm not sure if I should break up with my boyfriend. He's 22 and I'm 25 and sometimes  finding him quite immature. We've been together 6 months (officially 1 month) and we both work in a school but I have a summer job at the moment. During the holidays he has just sat about doing nothing, hardly leaving the house and being a real slob, playing video games all day. This has kind of put me off him a bit because I hate laziness and I find it a little bit gross to be honest! Not only that but he lives at home and his parents are away. Instead of spending a little more time with me he's invited his friends to live with him for 4 days solid and as a consequence can't see me at all during that period, even though we live a 5 minute walk away from each other! His friends are just as local and he sees them all the time. We only see each other twice a week and he never stays over so I was a bit offended by this. Not only am I not seeing him but he hasnt called at all and replies to texts are 3/4 hours in between and he doesn't really say much in them. We do have good times together and we get on great, I do love him. But i do get annoyed by his behaviour quite often, on a weekly basis. I've tried talking to him about it and he says he doesn't want to lose me but nothing changes. 

I'd love to be with him if the relationship was a bit more mature because we are really compatible with our personalities. But I don't know if it's just waiting for him to mature a bit or am I just wasting my time with this guy? Will he ever be the boyfriend I really want him to be. 

What should I do? Do I wait or leave him and find someone else more mature?

Thanks for reading

A male reader, anonymous, writes (10 August 2012):

When you were his age, he was just a 19 year old kid. You can't expect maturity from him after three years right? Besides, what is a 25 year old women doing with a kid not yet emotionally matured? Please don't embarrass yourself. There more mature men out there for you to be involved with. Better to end this whatever you have between each other. You're more of a baby sitter to him than a girlfriend.
