Free Relationship Advice
Reader’s Question:
My boyfriend is a dunce. I really like him, but he doesn’t get half of what I’m saying most of the time. I’d like free relationship advice, please. What should I do?
Relationship Advice:
There you are. Finally. So, you’ve seen through his abs, huh? What do you think of his Slavic features now? Sure, he’s got muscles, but can he spell? Have you tried talking to his bone structure? They’re loads of fun.
Now that we’re through with the gloating part, on to expert relationship advice.
I know you’ve thought of several options already since it appears that you’re a wise woman, but please allow me to just dazzle you with my amazing expert relationship advice.
We all know that looks are very important in a relationship. It’s the first thing that makes us notice other people. That is the reason why we dress nice and try to look our best when we know we’re going to be with this hot human being. We take a bath, shampoo our hair, iron our clothes, brush our teeth, clear the backseat of our car, check the gas, and dispose of the dead body in the trunk.
But then, somewhere along the way, we realize, or have known all along, that we really can’t promise to stare at each other for the rest of our natural life. It’s going to be a bore and your eyeballs will fall off. Honest.
You have to decide: if you want to be with your boyfriend (don’t call him a dunce), you have to change things. Tell him about this issue. Ask him to change. Also, be a changed person when you’re with him.
You don’t have to send him to college or anything. You just have to expect more from him, from each other. Change the dynamics of your relationship in a way that your interaction will somehow nourish both of you intellectually. Watch better movies perhaps. Let go of “Godzilla Vs. King Kong.”
I don’t think this is a case of “accepting your partner for who he is.” This is about bettering yourself and challenging the one you love to be a better person.
Accepting, schmepting.
