My friend describes her boyfriend as a "work in progress". I don't think that phrase has ever been described by people who end up having a successful relationship. What do you think?

Depends. Most people are a “work in progress”, tbh. But it depends on whether or not that’s how he sees himself or only the way she sees him. He has the power to “fix” himself if he thinks it’s necessary. She doesn’t, and is likely to be disappointed trying.
