If by a specific timeline, he has not shown any improvement, I would say goodbye. And make sure they know what that time period is. Then stick to it. Good luck!!!!!!!
I agree - seeing a goal 'in writing' lends to the significance of your feelings towards it needing to be met by others.

ETA also writing it up is cathartic for you and will help give that backbone to hand it over and get the conversation going - you can still 'talk' to them and make it personal but the written document helps to keep you on track and act as a catalysis to give you strength to speak up and address this issue.
