Is my bf dumb for not knowing that billionaires physically cannot run out of money unless if you're referring to a specific asset, business, etc? They simply cannot "go broke" from too many private jet trips or excess purchases.

I wouldn’t say he’s dumb cause tbh I never thought of it at all either- like they’d have to gamble their whole net worth to go broke. However the fact that he’s attacking your character is a red flag, tread carefully

We fought about it, he then attacked my character because apparently I'm making excuses for not having my license by now because apparently I should be like his friend and illegally drive to learn how to

He's not dumb for never having thought about it, necessarily, but he is an asshole for making it into a fight

Actually both of y'all are. Someone can definitely go broke. The more money you have it will take you longer to go broke. If you're smart you shouldn't though

It made no sense because I always beg him to take me driving, I even took an online drivers Ed course I was not required to take just so I can be complaint with upcoming laws + have cheaper insurance. (He mocked me for taking the course because he deemed it "unnecessary"). And apparently I'm making excuses even though I am making efforts

It kinda added to this scorecard because I already had this notion he lacked knowledge in certain subjects since he says "pacific" instead of "specific", says "more better" instead of "better", spells "heart" as "hart", and didn't know Abraham Lincoln wasn't a slave owner

You’re not supposed to make the person you LOVE feel small. I hope you have a great life whatever you do after this situation.

Alright now let’s not group all men and as if it were only men. Women be doing the same thing. Sometimes even making an issue out of what they recreated in their own heads from the things we say which is totally different than what was originally intended.

Are these qualities superficial if he's great in other areas of life? Great work ethic, generous, forgiving, observant, easily reads others' emotions, tries to see all perspectives/nuances, consistent, transparent, etc

But yeah, I kinda lost it and said "this is why I was in all honors and you only had to go to school for two hours a day for self paced". After I attacked his education (or lack thereof), he attacked my character

Debating is one thing, attacking your character is another. Just because you guys don’t agree on something don’t mean he should start attacking you personally. You say he tries to see all perspectives…but really? With this and you getting your license

True, like, he ignored the fact I always beg him to take me to teach me how to drive, ignored I went above and beyond by taking a driving course, and says me having people less willing to take time out of their day to teach me is me "making excuses" since he knows someone who taught themselves illegally

He is afraid to take me out of a parking lot and my mom is afraid to take me on a freeway or outside of a non busy residential neighborhood. It is not MY FAULT my teachers feel uncomfortable taking me certain places or that I refuse to drive illegally

Yeah I fear I may stick around and tune it out since we are tied to a friend group and a breakup would be so awkward and there's a sunk cost fallacy of "he already spent so much money on me if anything he'd have to leave me"
