Kinda glad I found this website to talk to, not sure what to do in my situation.
I have been dating my boyfriend for about 4 1/2 years now. At first it was great! We would go out to nice parties, have a great love life, went to many places together, etc. I do make more money then him so I always felt it was nicer to pitch in on things more, as he was using his money for our rent and building his own business. Well that was almost 3 years ago since that all changed. He still uses his money to buy things for his business, which to this day he just spends money and hasn't made a thing to show for it except the thrill of getting new things. I still make more then him, and pay for the rent, food, basically everything and feel like his mother. He is now in school for a 2 year program to further his education, but he never does his homework. I was gone for 2 1/2 weeks for a work trip and asked him to do one thing. Get up to date on your school work. Well I just got back this past week and he hasn't done anything. On top of that, our house is always a mess. I always feel like I'm cleansing after him, and half way that I'm cleaning he always says something and we get into a fight. The only thing I really want from him is to get a job, whether it be working for yourself or someone else, even though he is in school full time. Ugh. What do I do? We fight all the time over stupid stuff, I do love him but this needs to change that I basically pay for the roof over his head, which isn't cheap.
That would be my question as well. Clearly over the course of the last three years he's settled into a ne'er-do-well routine of being kept he's all too comfortable with.

You need to break up with this kid and find a man. You know, someone who has actually grown up, gotten a job, and established himself in life. He sounds like he is 14 and still in high school.
You are more like his mother than his partner in life. I would stay, there aren't kids involved, and it won't change. I mean seriously, only a mother would ask someone to make sure to do homework, not a girlfriend!!!
