How to continue to want to be with your partner when they keep dropping the ball?

Lately it just feels like my boyfriend can’t do anything right. I’ve tried picking my battles, adjusting expectations, communicating, etc. but when it really matters he just hasn’t been what I needed.

I’ve been hoping this is just a phase in the relationship but I’m feeling ready to throw in the towel

What has his response been? Does he acknowledge he's dropping the ball or does he think your expectations are too high

“Hasn’t been what I needed” ?

I don’t think you need to force yourself to stay, OP. Either he’s your person or he’s not. But don’t delay your misery. You deserve to be happy and to be with someone who picks you up.
