Today, I tried to explain to my 23-year-old boyfriend the difference between "your" and "you're". I do this every other day, but it's like his head is permanently stuck in the first grade. FML

OP here. I love my boyfriend, but you wouldn't BELIEVE how lazy and unmotivated he is sometimes. I think his attitude of not giving a **** goes back to how he's always been fed with a silver spoon and been given EVERYTHING in life. He feels as if he doesn't need to do anything, and that it's all up to everyone else. That goes for getting a job and earning money to pay the bills as well as stupid stuff like this. His attitude is "if they can figure it out, why should I care?" That doesn't make him a bad person, but it's hugely insensitive. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people here talking crap about me are exactly the same as he is. That "your" vs "you're" thing bugs the hell out of me anyway and it's not like committing the difference to memory is a hard thing. Long rant done, thanks. Edit: I didn't mean to reply to this comment. :S

calm down his just foolin around with u

does he get mixed up with they're, there and their too?

or than/then, two/to/too... people are so stupid.

Is this the only issue you have with him being permanently stuck in the first grade? If not, he may be intellectually incompatible with you. If that is the case, save yourself a lot of trouble and move on.

The funny thin is he probably tries to explain to you the difference between being a bitch and not bein a bitch. You are not getting it either :(. Poor him.

My boyfriend is worse. He uses "are" instead of "our", he spells stupid "stupied" and idiot "idiet" just to name a few, and he's 27!

Don't let him near the Internet... We'll rip him to shreds!

I agree with #41, at this point he's probably trolling you.

Aw I had that problem too, when I was seven. :D
