With all the billions left right center, hmmm. I just hope the north are not stylishly building their own country already

Good morning. This issue has been bothering me for a long time, and I feel like it's too sensitive to ask for second opinions from people I know so I figured I'd maybe ask some strangers on the internet.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months now and he's everything I ever wanted in a man. Physically, he's gorgeous, and he also loves me alot. He's kind, he's patient, communicates effectively and all. You know, all the good stuff.

But here's the problem, he cannot hold a conversation beyond "what are you doing" , "what did you eat" (and all that boring stuff) to save his life. I'm not even talking about intellectual conversations like quantum theory or anything, normal conversations about stuff that's happening around the world or around us. Anytime we try to, it usually fails spectacularly. He either ends up missing the ENTIRE point and saying something totally unrelated, or he just waits for me to say what I think so he can go "Yeeaaaa that's true" , leaving me really pissed.


He has absolutely NOTHING intelligent to contribute to any serious conversation, and this hurts me alot because it is a HUGE turn off and I'm slowly losing interest in him. It's a very tricky situation because he does/did well academically, he graduated with very good grades but that's about it...nothing more. I didn't notice it at first - before we started dating, or I would never have dated him because it is a deal breaker for me.

I have considered telling him but I don't exactly know how to approach the conversation without being rude/insensitive, I know telling him would really hurt him and I don't want that. I've also thought about learning how to live with it, because no one is perfect right? Maybe I'm asking for too much?

The latter option is what I've been doing and it's gradually killing me. I fear that I'll fall out of love completely with him and end up hating myself for ruining a good thing, because he's a really good guy .

I'd like to know what you think

And also you can’t expect him to fix what he’s not aware of. What if he’s even more sharp than you think but he has not been able to find someone reasonable to hold a good convo with. Another angle. From my experience so far, it’s so difficult to understand women, I’ve come across ladies with different interest. Some want a man that talks a lot while some like someone reserved. So sometimes it takes time to really understand their area of interest and likes so you don’t mess up. But from my own little knowledge. Leaving him without letting him know his flaws might still affect his next relationship. But at least if he knows the things he need to work on, he will know how to work on himself to balance your present relationship or his next relationship. No man is perfect and no man is an island. We learn everyday

Since he loves you and you love him too, I think letting him know his flaws will be a good way to go. Sounds harsh but it’s not. You might be helping him and the relationship at the same time. Find a time he’s in a good mood and chip in what’s bothering you. Possibly the way you ask him will unlock some explanations you don’t know about. Or maybe he’s still trying to understand you and your interest so as not to bore you with lengthy talk you won’t be interested in.[color=#770077][/color]

What just happened over there with the distance the sound and vibration traveled, it looks more like an explosive and not just a pipeline explosion.
