My boyfriend is really immature...what should I do?

So my current boyfriend of the last 3 years is starting to drive me crazy. He will be 30 in a few months and insists on playing with toys and video games all the time. This is a full time hobby (that I kinda wish he'd just turn into a career since he puts so much money into collecting toys) and usually takes priority over me. We go to conventions, know like-minded people in the toy industry and collectors, which is fine by me since I am an artist myself. However, his obsession leaves no room for anything else. Not to mention it's embarrassing in public when he empties his pockets of toy cars and action figures to keep himself entertained if he has to wait for a meeting, doctor's appt, etc. Oh and he works for a non-profit legal group and takes his toys to work with him.



All that said and done, he wants to marry me. He thinks we could settle down and have kids, but I don't see him getting his priorities straight anytime soon. He puts off paying bills and (choke) prefers to live with his mother instead of paying for his own place so he has more money for toys. We both have fulltime jobs, I have my own apartment and live responsibly when it comes to money. Can't imagine marrying a man who wants a Mario or Batman themed wedding.



That aside, I do love him. He's a good man in every other way. What should I do? Just move on? Or can I get him to "see the light" and get his act together?



Like i said, I do support his hobby and share it to some degree, but this should all be done in moderation. He would rather starve then give up purchasing the latest toy collectible.



Help!My boyfriend is really immature...what should I do?
If he wants to get married, I wouldn't worry about a themed wedding. I'm sure he at least knows that weddings are meant to be romantic, not a game. Also, I would sit him down and tell him how you feel. If you explain that you feel ignored (and if he really loves you) he'll stop his hobby for a while to make you feel better. Good luck!



Hope this helps!
take his toy and give them to good will and set up an interventionMy boyfriend is really immature...what should I do?
tell him that he needs to grow up
Come on!! the answer is staring you in the face. You would be looking after a child for ever. Plenty of people have hobbies, but the girlfriend/wife should take top priority. I suppose his mother subsidised his all consuming hobby before you came onto the scene. Marrying him, you will just be taking over from his mother. You want kids! why? you already have one. Why has it taken 3 years to have doubts. How do you fall in love with a man who clearly does`nt know how to keep you happy, but he sure knows how to make himself ecstatic. Think long and hard, do you really want to be second best. You could try giving him an ultimatum, cut down on the toys, save some money, but him being 30, does`nt like responsibility,still lives with mummy, depends on your money, You deserve a decent loving man, not a spoilt brat.My boyfriend is really immature...what should I do?
ya thats a little too old for him to STILL be pursuing those things.

it is defnately overdo for him to not be having his career on track right now and i think that you need to get his act together. tell him that you want him to start focusing on more importaNT things like his career and you, or else you wont be abe to take it anymore.



why keep waiting around for him to change and put UR life on hold.??
