I want a future (and a home) with someone at this point in my life. Should I keep waiting and hoping, or move on and end it with him completely?
I’m struggling with the decision. I have tried to break up with him multiple times, but we always wind up together again. -- ANXIOUS IN ARIZONA
DEAR ANXIOUS: I am struggling with whether to tell you what to do, which is what you are asking, or help you to make up your own mind and take responsibility for your decision.

How many of your goals match his?
He may not be a bad person, but he appears to be comfortable with living with his parents for the foreseeable future. I understand that you like hanging out with him, and if that is all you want from him, then it’s fine. However, if it isn’t, then tell him you need more than what he has to offer, and move on -- and this time, make it stick.
