I have tried talking to him politely about improving and he says he's trying but I didn't really seem putting in as much effort as he claimed. What sucks is that everyone around me has said I did the right thing and usually when a lot of people can see it then there generally is some problem going on. I know I'm an adult and I generally like to go my own way but sometimes I've been in denial when everyone else can see what I don't. Heck, I even asked my aunt what she thought, as she's been in similar situations before, and she said I did the right thing.
