He Makes Me Feel Stupid (Big Sister)

anon, 17 writes...

My boyfriend always makes me feel stupid when I ask him questions. Not weird questions, but you know, questions that come up about famous people or meanings of big words. I feel stupid around him. What should I do? Does this mean we are not a good fit for each other?

I definitely think you should talk to him about it. Maybe he doesn't realize he's doing it. Does he usually answer the question? Or does he laugh at you for not knowing? It's definitely not cool to be with someone who makes you feel ashamed for who you are. Even though you may not know more about popular culture or grammar, you probably know more than him about something else, like shoes or history. If you have a conversation about it and he still continues to make you feel dumb, then I think you need to take a serious look at your relationship. When you are with someone, you should never feel ashamed of who you are. If he is making you feel that way on a regular basis then he's not the guy for you.
