What are the GF/BF responsibilities???

Hi guys, I'm new.
I've been talking to my friend who is having a really tough time sorting out what to do with her relationship. She feels her man isn't there enough for her, and tells me he doesn't take part in her family's events, and doesn't take part in his own. They've been together for 2 1/2 years and she's only been to one of his family events. She feels he's not there for her when she needs him to be, and can always rely on him to back out of plans. She was living with him for a while but needed more space and moved out.
Now she's rather convinced he's not right for her and was SUPPOSE to break up with him today.

She wasn't able to do it, as soon as he tells her he loves her and wants to be with her, she says all her courage is just, Gone.
He said she's expecting things that are more for a wife, not a girlfriend.
I don't see the difference for the most part! Ideally if you're dating someone you have the intentions of being with them for a good chunk of their lives and taking an active part in their life (ex. seeing their family)

He's apparently also said that he holds back any emotional aspects of the relationship to "protect himself cause he's been hurt before." I'm thinking he's not in any position to be dating and she needs to get some self-respect and finally dump this guy, cause she keeps coming to me and telling me all the things that are wrong.

SOOOoo, I figured I'd give her some ammo to think about.
Thought you guys could help.
Do you mind typing the behaviours of a girlfriend and/or boyfriend that SHOULD take place in a relationship, and see if we can spell it out to her how much this guy has slipped?

HAhaha nope, unless she hasn't told me she's on here.

Some folks aren't family orientated. If he isn't he might have a valid reason. As for him attenting her funtions well it's never ALL that much fun but it should be done out of respect and all that jazz.

To sum it up: your friend is a pussy if she can't dump a dumb unreliable douche.

Unless she's our new poster DarkNeko, who apparently only requires her boyfriend to have a pulse, your friend is getting the shaft. She'll break up with him eventually.
