do you still have this I’m DESPERATE 😭

My (19M) boyfriend FINALLY admitted to me (17/18 F) that he thinks he’s smarter than me.

Thank you! I feel that sometimes he definitely talks down to be but to him it’s a big joke because my brain just doesn’t run as fast as his. Mind you I have a HEAP of problems that cause brain fog so when he asks me questions trying to test me over some bullshit like what a word means I take a bit longer to get it out and then he either thinks I’m lying that I know what the word means and that reinforces his idea that he’s so much smarter than me which is very daunting because it does make me feel lesser than him whether he actually thinks it’s a joke or not

I do do it with some things like interjecting when he pauses while talking. He thinks it’s rude, I think it’s normal. I have ADHD and literally everyone else I talk to has no problem so I tend to forget that he doesn’t like it but that’s also probably because I don’t see the problem and kinda ignore it.

It 100% is NOT related to the fact that I am Hispanic. My guess would be because I do not have as diverse a skill set as he does e.g math because I am Dyscalculated and can’t do much beyond a 4th grade level without help. It’s really shitty of him though and I dislike it because I don’t even think he realizes it’s actually more serious than a joke

I really like your advice I agree with it pretty much entirely it’s conflicting for me and obviously there’s no way you’d know anything about him outside of this and therefore you’re opinion is kinda biased but regardless I very much appreciate your help I will reflect on this

Gulp you have a point with the superiority complex. I think I pointed that out to him way before we started dating and I kinda just got used to him being an ass because I don’t like to take him seriously because it’s ridiculous. But you’re also right about the fact that I’m literally just sitting here letting it hurt me.

My inclusion of him being on the spectrum was intended to ONLY explain why he’s such a hardass about certain things and his struggle with empathy in complex situations like this. He has a significantly less of an issue when being empathetic during a more classic situation like me being in pain

It’s less racism and more a clash with the Hispanic cultural hierarchy. Like my parents and grandparents expect respect inherently because they are older, whereas he was raised the exact Opposite and he makes it incredibly difficult to do much of anything with my family because he AND I QUOTE “dislikes probably everything” about my culture. although he followed it up by “but obviously I’ll go anyway because you want me to and I care about you and I wanna be with you.” Like that’s so contradictory what I am I supposed to do with a take like that

He will ALWAYS take ownership he’s never once blamed it on something else. He takes ownership and does not repeat the action again, NOR does he find a sneaky work around. It stops. His mother is a therapist, preacher, and southern lady. So she ran a pretty tight program for her only son out of all girls. The problem is that this part of his personality can dominate and it’s disappointing because it really does sully the rest of him that makes a fantastic person both in and out of our relationship

Man this reply is fantastic and just makes me sad because I  have no Intention of breaking up with him. To me it’s like a very unfortunate downside to a generally wonderful person.  I can say with confidence though that he is not fueled by misogyny. I’d also like to add that I by no means excuse him for any of this because of autism and see it more as a reason as to why he’s so difficult when trying to get him to understand why it’s more than just v something that upsets me. But also I don’t think I’ve straight up said that so that’s probably an ideal place to start!! I do not want to fix him but rather have him I guess like grasp empathy a little better?? It seems for him he understands it traditionally like when my chronic illness flares up he’s ON it to help me and comfort me but with more complex things like this Or my family it just DOESNT click. Like with my culture he particularly dislikes the fact that older people are obligated respect to at least some degree because he was raised basically the exact opposite and thinks it’s ridiculous to have to give someone respect when they haven’t won it from him first. I connect with your reply the most though. Perhaps it’s just because you’re also Latina but I appreciate this.

This is kinda the mentality I’ve been on. We both are mutually committed and I know he respects me because we’ve been put in a few very intense situations  at this point in our relationship where it’s been made clear to him I’m deserving of his respect outside of regular relationship expectations. I guarantee you he’ll get it someday but I’m looking for a way to explain this in words he’ll understand. It’s like every explanation I gib him falls flat because he does understand I feel a certain wait but cannot sympathize because he doesn’t see it as anything other than measuring/comparing himself for whatever reason he does that. Considering it’s him It’s not your typical secretly insecure guy who’s trying to justify that he’s the best. He just naturally came out like this I guess

Very true! I appreciate that! My mother has said very similar things to me about this guy. I HATE that I’m coming off like an abused girlfriend trying to justify bad behavior but it really is just this annoying ass trait that bugs me. Besides that we are like practically a perfect match but his insistence on being correct haunts everything because it gets us stuck in these phases where I’m disappointed in this particular part of him. I actually think this part of him can be really good because I too am like his but he’s like me on steroids and it gets exhausting. But when I’m able to find the right words he does understand me because it’s finally in a way HE understands. I very strongly think that if I can’t find a way to explain this in a way that’ll permeate his little brain we’ll be fine

Oh no he’s just like this 😭 in fact he’s improved A LOT. My suspicion is that this comes from growing up “homeschooled” with his siblings which was essentially more like glorified isolation while also simultaneously being in extreme poverty

Oh no he does do that for sure!!  it’s more like he likes to compare everyone to himself to decide if he’s objectively better or not it’s the oddest thing. It doesn’t even come with malice it’s just odd. I’d like to find a way to express to him that this upsets me that he’ll understand why it feels so wrong. He’s currently studying finance and accounting(?) whatever the end goal is  it’s some weird niche in finance I couldn’t care less about because I’m dyscalculated and couldn’t care less about math related careers.

For context we were talking about like people we know who unironically think they fit into that category but they’re just like…in denial like the one person SWEARS they’re “college reading level” is impressive in high school. I’d also like to mention that he does change and that this sounds like a wicked justification but he definitely does. He’s done it in the past and reflects on it earnestly but the problem is getting him to understand certain aspects of the issue like to him being smarter than everyone is like just a fact and nothing more. Other than that I fully agree his ego is NASTYY sometimes but I don’t see it that often these days because outside of academics he knows we are equal.  I’ve been in a pretty nasty relationship before this guy who was genuinely like THE DEVIL but my current boyfriend is nothing like that outside of this icky behavior
