Welcome! I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a woman in my life that wont even support me if I am sick in bed with the flu. I am looked down upon as being "weak".

I'm not happy about it, not happy at all. I could go with a list including not being supportive of just about anything that might make me happy and fulfilled.

Ive finally given up, this person is never going to change, or so it seems. So I just say screw it and take care of myself to the best of my ability.

IMHO, when you get right down to it, we are really alone in this world.

I would ask a Higher Power for strength and try not to dwell on the boyfriends shortcomings. BTW, I agree with you, but what can we do?
