Lazy Boyfriend

Im 23 years old and have been in a relationship for 3 years now, as first it wasn’t that great, we had a lot of rows and he let me down several times hurting me so much. We have finally got through it and I do trust him now, we get on great, my family really like him. We are both ready for the next step in our relationship which is to move out, but theres problems, my boyfriend has been studying to be a plumber for ages now, he’s had family problems etc which has always put his career on hold. I spent weeks phoning different plumbers looking on the internet for him and he seemed to do nothing about it which caused a lot of arguments as it seemed I was more bothered about his career than he was, anyway luckily my dad managed to find him a plumber so he can finish off his apprentiship but with the current climate he has been layed off, lucky he has done the practical which means he only needs to take exams for him to then be a qualified plumer. I do a lot of things for my boyfriend, he doesn’t drive so I take him places, cook for him even buy him things like the plumbing book I brought him recently for him to revise for his exams, he has been studying for months now and I keep saying to him when are you booking your exams (he needs to take about 10 and hasn’t even completed 1 yet) he keeps saying to me yeah I will do soon, but still months past and yet no movement, he needs to become qualified to work with his current employer so he has no job or money coming in at the minute which is soooo frustrating as its also stopped us from going out together and most importantly saving for our own place. We were supposed to start saving over a year ago! He feels im constantly going on at him, but im trying to make him realise that if this carrys on there wont be a relationship anymore as I cant put up with this anymore and then he turns around and says he cant put up with me going on at him anymore, its like were going round in circles, I love him so much and so want this to work but why cant he get off his backside and start thinking about our future and also his future, we always talk about moving out, getting married etc and he says he really wants it, so why isn’t he making this effort so we can both move on with our life’s. Is it because he thinks im always going to be there no matter what? I really need some advice as to what to do.

Thanks for listening.
