I Have To Say About Dating And Relationships

I am lost whether I am settling or not. I have been in a relationship with this guy for almost 2 years now. He is great and I have love hanging out with him but there are countless of times that I have seriously spoken to him about something that he needed to change. Now, I've seen some changes but they are changes that lead to nowhere, we are not progressing, they are like band aids that temporarily fix the problem. Now I dont mean to change him as a person but I am confused whether I am waiting for something that is not going to happen or am just impatient. It has been months and have not seen any real progress. He is a great guy, but I fear that I will wake up one day and not feel anything for this guy. What do you think? need more info?

You mentioned drinking and that is serious. Don't count on him changing. Addictions are seriously troubling and you've probably only seen the tip of an iceberg. Also, giving you less affection than you need is also a serious problem which is unlikely to improve no matter what he says. I would ditch him and find someone better.
