“Stay in relationship to help partner”

Partner's unhealthy habits and lack of motivation have made me feel like his mother, reducing physical attraction and making me question our future.

What I wish I knew
"His willingness to change and improve his habits before we started dating."
If I could tell you one thing
"Evaluate whether your partner's issues are a sign of deeper problems or a phase, and consider your own needs and boundaries in the relationship."
