I need real advice please!

So, I have been in a relationship for almost 3.5 years. My boyfriend is 26 and lives about a 10 min walk from me so we used to hangout almost everyday. My boyfriend doesn’t work, has no education, still lives at home, does not have a car or drivers license, he never takes me out anywhere (never has) besides to eat and even that I have to plan! He is also very immature, lazy and full of excuses. I am so unhappy and have given him chance after chance to change but he always has an excuse. He says I need to help him make a resume because he doesn’t know how? He is 26 years old!!! I have to add, he is nice to me and hasn’t cheated (as far as I’m concerned). I am just looking for advice, should I leave this relationship or wait around for him? If you have the time, I would love for you to go into detail! I am so lost and no one I know has been in this situation. Thank you in advance! 🙂

What does he do all these days? How is that possible that he's 26, has no education and doesn't work? Has he worked in the past?
Do you know why is he this way?
Isn't it possible that he's suffering from some kind of mental illness or autism?

@CrazyMusicLover He stays home and watches tv or plays video games! That is what he does all day. He has worked no more than a month at a time and it was all handouts from family and under the table jobs. He says he is depressed but does nothing about it. My family thinks there is something wrong, mentally.

@Darcyxo I think so too. He can't be alright and he needs help. But it's the responsibility of his parents in the first place. How come they let him live this way?
