How can I get my daughter to realize she can find someone better?

My 18 year old daughter has been with her boyfriend for 2 years and 9 months. He will be turning 18 in a couple of months.

She is a great kid-graduated with honors, got a partial scholarship to the University, got A’s and B’s her first semester at the university, has a job, has wonderful friends, is a loyal friend (obviously since she’s stuck with him), etc.

Her boyfriend on the other hand got kicked out of his freshman year of high school for drugs, went to a program and did well at it but came home and for the last year has done nothing. Oh he got a job with a family member for a few months in the summer and now MAYBE works one day a week.

He has a bad childhood so at first we felt sorry for him. Hindsight is 20/20 and I could kick myself for enabling the relationship in the beginning. At some point you either decide you don’t want to continue the family cycle and get out of it or you continue in the same path. We don’t see him doing anything to change and better himself.

She thinks it is fine and that he’s gonna be fine. He’s always gonna do something but never does.

There are 30,000 students at her University. Couldn’t one of them be good enough for her?

How can we get her to realize she can find someone better with similar goals? He is happy sitting around doing nothing. Help please.
