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.
