I've been seeing "William" for about a year and I find myself getting more and more frustrated. He has a problem showing affection. I don't mean like kissing me in public affection. I mean like wanting to go out with me. He would rather stay at home and on a rare occasion he'll agree to go out and then when he has to pick me up, he's almost always late.
It's such a struggle to get a compromise out of him and then he breaks it after a few weeks of 'good behavior'.
I've thought about breaking up with him, but I just can't seem to do it. How can I get him to give me what I need?

Dear Yvonne
Why should he? You've proven he doesn't have to and you'll still be around. Why do you value yourself less than he does? It shouldn't be a struggle to go out with someone you want to be with and it shouldn't have to be a constant reminder that you're not getting what you need.
You can't change him, you can change you and until you decide you're worth more than what he's giving you - he'll continue to give it, and you'll continue to take it.
