Ever been in a relationship where you boyfriend/girlfriend lacked emotional intelligence?

Yes

Nope

Eh, I'd say my last boyfriend had a pretty limited emotional capacity in general, or lacked the capability to talk about it on a deep level anyway. Close but maybe not identical to emotional intelligence.

Not really. It’s a spectrum. Some are better than others. They can also change over time

I've never been in any kind of relationship.

Yes, I’ve seen tons of relationships crash because one partner had zero emotional intelligence. They shut down during conflict, invalidated feelings, turned everything into “you’re overreacting,” and avoided accountability. That’s not being “chill,” that’s a walking red flag. Emotional immaturity slowly kills attraction, trust, and makes you feel lonely while technically “in a relationship.”

Thankfully, no. Only been in two, however.
