>>42202023>>explain while half sobbing that they were calling me by my deadname and trying to hurt me and it worked>>he gets a shocked look on his face and goes "oh shit wait I lowkey forgot about that"No i totally get that, that's not being retarded, he just views you as a girl so he totally forgets about how you used to be a boy, he's totally conditioned
>>42202043He has a decent job selling cars for his dad, I think he can handle himself. I think he's just a bit goofy sometimes and didn't learn enough stuff as a kid growing up.>>42202055He wrecked the first 2 cars he got from his dad for free lmao, but his 3rd one is ok(if not for a few dings and scratches) I think he's being more careful now since he knows 3 strikes is the limit
please op. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TALL YOU AND HIM ARE. its my dearest i wish. i beg.
>>42202023>is he retarded?>it’s all just forgetfulness or not paying attentionis he actually genuinely lacking in intelligent or is he just bad at focusing his attention? it’s not too hard to fix the latter, if the person is willing to, imo.how literate is he? what would he score on a PIAAC test? what is his numeracy like? is he willing to learn new things?i don’t understand breaking up with someone cus they struggle to focus and are forgetful, but i’ve broken friendships with people because they just don’t demonstrate basic literacy or numeracy and seem totally uninterested in changing that
