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

This brings up a story. I posted a reply to someone's comment. I put in 'your' instead of 'you're'. He corrected me.

Argh that's so annoying... Get him to read a book. Books do wonders.

OP's username is awesome! I didn't even know you could have a username without any actual letters!

Don't be such a spelling nazi -

Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

Or when people get "there and their" mixed up. -.-

if people get this and these right only than/then i can forgive them.

This is a recurring problem here at FML. We've just learned to live with it. I suggest you do the same if he continues to not understand.

I'm sure your boyfriend went out with you because he wanted to have a good time with you, not because he wanted to be treated like he's back in his middle school english class

Then he should have paid more attention in his middle school English class. And every subsequent English class.
