My BF and I have been living together for about a year and a half. I have 2 kids and just finished school to become a teacher so I have a more compatible schedule with kids and I will be going back to grad school in the spring. My BF and I are from way different walks of life I haven't always had it easy but for years he had lived a "street" type of life I guess you could say. He is a good guy and I love him dearly but recently he lost his job and just seems to have no drive. He has a hard time because of his background getting a job. I know there is something out there though. He always talks about our future and how he wants this that and the other thing. House, he is very into creating music and an excellent performer so he wants a studio, and all the other things we all seem to aspire for. He just is always looking for the easy way around things lately it seems. He told me one day I didn't know what it was like to be in his shoes being rejected from normal things that I do every day like the way someone looks at you for having done something wrong in the past. I can understand tat but it doesn't mean give up. I love him dearly but I can see that if I want to continue on with my goals for the future unless he gets some real get up and go soon...he is not going to be able to help me get to where I want to be in life.

Seems like your guy is more the creative, go with the flow type, which is fine if you can accept that.
Welcome to the board paulisgirl318,
I don't think you are shallow.
