Be with the man you want not who you want him to be.
Movies and books often depict a romance where the female changes the guy in the relationship and makes him better. This is wrong. Though it may work for some, it is not the way for all. It is because of this that many people find themselves being treated lesser than in undeserving relationships. Leave.
Find someone who will treat you right.
A lover and a friend and embrace them.
