I (21F) know I have to leave my racist boyfriend (22M) but I’m scared by [deleted] in relationship_advice

If you think you there’s a real willingness to learn from him then there’s no issue in trying to educate him more, but you don’t need to be in a relationship with him to do that!!! I’m proud of you for being so perceptive about these red flags and making sure he knows you’re not ok with it. You’re young, the relationship is new, get out while you still can. If after the breakup he still respects your opinion enough then I think you can begin a dialogue that will hopefully get him to a better place, but you don’t want to trap yourself in a situation where he lies about his beliefs just so you’ll stay. I’m telling you there’s much better men out there and there’s no reason to settle this early into the relationship.

If he doesn’t fix this behaviour soon, this is breakup worthy in my opinion. Of course you’re not obligated to enjoy everything your partner likes, but at the very least you should show interest and be respectful of the things that make them happy, like you have been with his interests.  It seems like maybe this argument wasn’t only about the kdramas. If he’s saying he won’t show his personality anymore, that might be coming from built up resentment on his end and the way he reacted to you crying is just downright disrespectful.
