Is it normal to be just plain dumb

I'm convinced my boyfriend is practically an idiot, he believes everything that people tell him and floats through life with his positive attitude. He's very happy go lucky which I love, but tragic shit happens to him and he refuses to let himself be negative. He's very book smart, good with math and science, he's training to become a veterinarian top of his class and he's incredibly likable. But he just has no common sense.

My ex likes to tease him about it all the time, making up lies that my boyfriend usually believes, it's embarrassing. He lacks practical sense and doesn't understand that people are shit, he's a humanitarian and does yoga and plants trees in his free time. I'll be honest, I'm embarrassed of him, but I've got too much invested in the relationship.

    Yea who cares. Thats good that hes so positive. Why be so negative?

    Its because your boyfriend likes to trust people out of decency. Which people should have. People shouldnt be liars in the first place.

    He sounds like a good person. Shame on you if anything.

    You should be able to see that hes a nice good person. People shouldnt take advantage of other people, just so you know.

    Good for him, he sounds like a great guy! Yes, lots of near genius and genius people have a deficit of commonsense, because quite often their thoughts are focused on loftier and quite often much deeper things.

    Why are you still in contact with your ex, much less allowing him to act rudely and disrespectfully toward your current beau?

    Shame on you for being embarrassed of this poor guy, because he sounds like a very good and decent person! If you're embarrassed of him then do him a favor by leaving so he can find someone who respects him and isn't embarrassed of him. Oh wait, you've got "too much invested in the relationship"... WTF!

    Try to be a decent person to by asking yourself whether or not you love this man, and whether or not you can RESPECT him then act accordingly. I also think it's inappropriate to associate with your ex, why are you still friends with him?

    • Fuck me? Why? I love him for who he is, but that doesn't mean he isn't dumb.

        I don't get how being optimistic and not cynical makes someone dumb. It'd be nice to see more people like him in this world

        • We were visiting my ex in New York and my boyfriend said it was dark because the moon wasn't out, so my ex told him it's because New York doesn't have a moon and my boyfriend believed him.

          You'd be embarrassed to.

    He may be just playing dumb. He may be didn't believe those words. He just think it would be rude if he didn't believe what they were said.
    Idk... he seems a good man tho

    For all you know his just pretending he believes it, thinking what a fuckin dumb ass. I go along with peoples shit like that sometimes too because I'm not gonna start a stupid argument. I've even then have had people laughing you believed that really hahaha your so stupid even if I've said no they have been like no really you guys seen it she really believed it... Though in actuality all I believed as it was definitely possible that they were themselves that dumb and didn't want to embarrass them just incase. I'd be more embarrassed for you ex like why even say something that stupid, baby shows teach that shit about the moon. I mean seriously hows current bf a dumbass for stating a true fact being that its darker when the moons not out.

  • Do you think he may have something like a form of autism? They tend to be book smart yet very naive at the same time.

    You seem a bit condescending toward him. You admit to loving him but call him dumb? He's training to be a veterinarian, for gods sake! Most people aren't smart enough to do that. Most people would be proud of that in itself. You should come down from your high horse and realize that you are the lucky one in the relationship and, due to your obvious ignorance of what real intelligence actually is, he's the one who should be ashamed of YOU.

    This type of person is easy to manipulate. As a woman, you should be extremely happy about that.
