The most improtant thing in a relationship is acceptance.
While it's unfortunate that your partner is a bit...lacking...you should know that it's wrong to try and force sombody to change.
The second most important thing is communication.
You should carefully think out what you want to get across, and find the right words with the right tone to get your point out. Once you both understand, the next part happens.
If he understands, and makes a real effort to change for you, then he obviously wants the relationship to work. If he says he wants to change, buy it seems like he can't, it is probably some deeper affliction that may require some sort of counseling.
Of course, after all is said and done, it's up to you to decide whether you accept the way things are, or to move on.
