How do you know when enough is enough in a relationship?

getting clingy and needy and I would have been fine with either one or the other but not both. Once I started staying overnight at his house he expected to sleep over every night. I get that when you are in love if there's a will there's a way. But it started effecting other aspects of our lives. He was showing up to work late. I was always tired because I would have to go back home and get ready and wake up at least three or even four hours than when I had to get up and go to work. I didn't want to start leaving stuff and moving in. I like the fact that I can go home. I talked to him about how is was affecting us a individuals and he acknowledged it as he usually would say that we need to do something about it and make a plan to do so. The only problem from that is he would do it for a day or so and then get back to his old habit.

I then would call him out on it and then he would turn around and try to blame it on me when it was him. It got to the point that it started stressing me out being so worked from work, him, family and friends. I started find myself not being able to love myself. What I mean is that I can't even find time to get a haircut and its been more than 6 months. I have to skip shaving my legs because I have to take a 5 minute shower because I had to get to work on time. It was getting to much and when I explained this to him he said that it would change. But it's not and I'm afraid that it would continue like this. I love him and I want to work things out. We planned on having a life together. But how do know enough is enough? How do you know when to say this is not going to work out?
