I’d like to rant. I have troubles communicating with my boyfriend. His first language is not English and his English is extremely bad (he never went to English school).
I don’t understand 50% of what he says and when we talk about important topics, it makes it even worse. In the beginning of the relationship, I told him nicely that it’s better if we communicate in our mother tounge (we both have same mother tounge) so that there’s no miscommunication. That didn’t work. I switched to being blunt and told him I could not understand his English at all.
That didn’t work either. Now I just yell if I don’t understand. It’s been like this for many years. I’m so fed up!
There’s been SO MANY miscommunications because of his English and yet he doesn’t care. It’s so tiring having to decipher his sentences and it’s like I have to read minds too sometimes.
Here are what netizens think:
- U r a funny person. why do u want to start this relationship with him in the first place?
- You can send him to primary school. Every school a good school. He will look cute in the uniform.
- So simple. You go learn his mother tongue, he go learn English la. If not you guys can sign to each other forever…
- The realisation of a r/s that probably started not by real communication.
- “It’s been like this for many years”??? How long have you seen with this person?? How have you all been communicating for so many years??
- This was what happened at tower of babel i wonder how many lovers or families got separated.
