I feel like my boyfriend thinks I’m dumb. He gets frustrated when I don’t know something that is “simple and common sense” . For example he was so frustrated after I didn’t know the difference between front and rear wheel drive. He threw up his arms and yelled I don’t understand why you don’t know this! I called him an asshole for yelling at me and he called me stupid. After i got upset, he apologized and said there’s just some theories I can't talk to you about and it’s frustrating. I told him I always want to learn new things and I like when he explains this to me. But now every time I ask him a question his reply is “look it up” or “I’m not answering that boomer question” . I feel like when I ask him a question he gives me an are you stupid look. Right now I’m scared to ask any question because I think it will be a dumb question. He thinks I was sheltered by my parents and don’t know common sense things. I’m 4 years older than him so this feeling sucks. I asked him the other day to talk to me about politics as I don’t read about them, it never interested me but since they interest him, I wanted to learn. He replied with I don’t want to get into this cause I’ll just get frustrated with you… I replied with I would rather you explain something to me than make me feel dumb.
I don’t know what else to do. It feels like he’s always frustrated with me and I feel incompetent.
