My advice is that he's an asshole and he likes to ake you feel stupid to make himself feel better - classic insecure bully and part of the reason he wanted a younger girl. Dump his ass and go to college or university and make him feel bad because he's 38 and hasn't done that much with his life yet! You are not stupid or lacking in common sense you are acting like a normal 22 year old and guess what? Your brain isn't even fully developed until 25 so he's being an ass and he knows it. He sounds so sad and like such a bully / loser please dump him!

I would never date a guy who disrespected me by calling me dumb and saying i have no common sense. If he wants to make it work then he needs to be more considerate and respectful. Dont let this guy bash your self esteem. He's a fucking 38 year old who has no higher education and he's calling YOU
I'd be wary of a man that much older who knowingly makes you feel stupid/inferior...
He's been alive 16 years longer than you.
That doesn't necessarily mean he is either more mentally or emotionally intelligent than you. Though it's likely he has much more life-experience than you.
He's also likely to have seen much more of this world than you have, so it's only natural he would employ these experiences to guide you away from potentially harmful situations.
Expect more of this in the future, assuming you guys stay together. Your just too young for him not to be tempted into a "parental" role.
He is older than you, so this is to be expected. The idea that you think that you "asked a couple important questions before trying it" still sounds stupid to anyone with any life experience at all. You shouldn't have expected him to be chill about something like you trying drugs.
While he should try not to make you feel stupid, you also need to understand how frustrating it is to watch the person you love make such ignorant choices. I think this is something you both need to work on.

You just need to accept it really. So what he thinks your not smart. He's not perfect. And if he didn't want to be with you he wouldn't be
You will get smarter as you get older and wiser with life experience so I wouldn't let it bother you since when he was your age I'm sure he wasn't any smarter or with more common sense than you now so don't worry about it
Frankly, this going to happen because of the very real generational gap between the two of you...
fuck him (not like sex,.. the other kind of fuck)
move on
