I dont know if these are considered high expectations but my boyfriend of one year (we are currently on a break right now..) is not the person I want to be with. I really love him, but he steals, does drugs, parties, etc. And at the end of the day he calls himself a Christian.

I just want him to stop doing all those shenanigans and really dedicate his life to God and Jesus. I feel like our relationship cant move forth if he's still doing drugs. The drugs make my anxiety flare up like crazy.

Is this expectation too high/unrealistic? Is it so bad to just want someone who shares the same morals as me? Is it wrong to want HIM to share the same morals as me?

Discuss.

Your expectations are not unreasonable. As one who has done all the things your friend does, I can tell you that I could not commit to ANYTHING while I was using. GET OUT NOW

Wow. I have to one hundred percent agree with oneday. That advice deserves a repeat: Yes!!! GET OUT NOW.
You cannot alter another person's behavior, and no one can change another person's morals. You have mis-matched yourself about as much as one can be mis-matched.

Thank you for replying. Last night I sent him a message telling him that I'm done. I'm done for good. I bought this program because he wanted me to "fix" my anxiety because he said we couldnt be together as long as I had anxiety. I said we couldn't be together as long as he did drugs. So our deal was to take a month or two off and work on ourselves and then see where things are. Well I've gotten much better in my anxiety, I've made SO much progress, but I called him the other day to see how he's doing... He hasnt gotten any better AT ALL. If anything he's worse.. What a let down!

So you're right. I'm going to take my NEW self (confident anxiety free!) and find someone who deserves me.
