Are you hoping that they will change, so that you can feel better about staying where you are with them? Well you're not going to feel any better by basing your life, your feelings , your happiness on what someone else won't do or realize. Your life and your happiness is about what you are willing to do for you, not about what unnecessary burdens you are willing to take upon yourself, because of a loved one's inability to maturely see your value.

Wrong way: "I hope that you will change so that I may feel better."

Better way: "I had hoped that you would change so that I could feel better about staying with you. I also, thought that I could continue managing my feelings with you, but I guess I should have managed my own experience, my expectations with seeing you as you are, and not how I wanted you to be."
