My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, and we love each other very much. We have such fun together and really are best friends. He's such a wonderful boyfriend, and even kisses away the tears when I cry. My dilemma is that he's almost 26 and does such childish things. He refuses to be a mature adult, and feels that growing up means that he has to be a "boring adult." He is CONSTANTLY making penis jokes or showing me his penis. He also acts like a spoiled brat when something in life doesn't go his way (it's usually his fault and always wants to blame it on something/someone else including God). And he has this habit of rocking back and forth in a daze. I'm talking the stereotypical behavior that mentally retarded individuals have with rocking back and forth and making some sort of motion with their hands. It's not as though he can't control the penis jokes or rocking back and forth because he doesn't do them is public. Also, he has severe ADD and refuses to take any sort of medication for it. He says that he doesn't need it, but we get into arguments because he zones out or can't pay attention when someone's talking or while he's in school. I love him very much, but don't know how to handle this situation. I'm afraid I may have to break it off with him soon, but it pains me to do so because of how important he is to me and the deep intimate bond that we share. But I'm at my wit's end with his behavior. I've talked with him about it, but it doesn't seem to phase him. What's a girl to do???
