    Lets just say that you're never going to meet the perfect guy. Nevertheless, it is good to have some standards and expectations. Remember that human beings come in packages, each with their own limitations and flaws. Its a matter of whether you think that his shortcomings are a deal breaker for your or not. If you can manage it, then work together with him so that you both become better partners for each other.

    Share your thoughts and fears with him. Let him know that you love him but his character is making you unhappy in the relationship. If he really loves you, he'll make the necessary changes in his life to make you happy.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    If you're not 100% happy, consider why.

    By 'hard character to deal with', do you mean abusive, nasty, derogatory? (ie. does he call you names etc), if so, it may be worth getting out all together.

    If he is abusive or manipulative in any way, also take that as a sign to get out.

    If you can, communicate with each other. In a healthy relationship you should be able to talk through your issues without fear of the other. They may be upset or angry but you should be able to avoid explosive behaviour.

    Talk to him, state what you want and how you feel and it should be able to be worked out from there :)
