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

My boyfriend does that too! He also writes "then" (as in "next") when he really means "than" (ex: "I would rather have this donut THEN that donut.") Drives me nuts!

Or maybe he actually means that he wants both doughnuts, one after the other.

...and you really think that is going to change if you marry him?

Conjugate lay. What? You aren't sure how? Who's so smug now?

Ughh I hate that! Along with alot.... :/

He's probably just doing it to annoy you. That's what I do to grammar nazis.

make it simple for him... You're a d*ck... Your d*ck... if he cant even understand it this way the he is a **** and you should quit

It's time to break up with a retard like that
