You may just love his as a brother. You know you can help a person a lot better when you are not emotionally attached to them. I dated a guy for 9-months, he is a super nice guy, but I chose to pull back the camera and look at the big picture. and what I found out was that he was not motivated to get a good paying job with benefits, his love was very immature. socially is was extreamly shy, not good at conversation.
You have to look at all the aspects, if there is something that you just don't like about the person, you just don't like the person. and that o.k. ask yourself, "would I like to spend the rest of my life with this person" be honest with yourself, ask God to help you to see the truth. Was your boyfriend raise with a good solid father and mother figure, if one of those is lacking, beware, you will have problems. This is a fact. a boy, that isn't raised with a good father figure has a more sissie personality. The boy gets his personality by interacting with dad. Girls servive without a father figure - but not boys, they don't do well.
Don't just look at one thing, and if he tries to talk you into staying with him .......run. he's dependent. no good.
