Hi there alavos,
Aside from your boyfriend listening to you when you need to how else does he love and appreciate you because from what I read it seems as if you are the one providing all of the love and support. After reading your story if I may say so if this is correct, do you actually enjoy taking care of him? It’s very similar to a mother trying to raise a teenage son who smokes. As the old saying goes, you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves. Just make sure that this relationship does not take you away from your law career because if this path continues you just may be dragged down with him or in this case it may go up in smoke.
Thank you and take care
