I’m going to break up with my boyfriend soon.

I feel so mean.. he’s a great guy but he’s just so irritating. He’s so annoying. And he is so academically smart but it seems like he has NO emotional or social intelligence. It frustrates me so bad because I KNOW he’s smart.

Yesterday we were listening to Kanye in his car. He says randomly “You know I voted for Kanye when he ran for president!” I stayed silent but I’m sure the look of disgust on my face said everything. He says “I’m just kidding, I wanted to see what you’d say.” We start talking about election and I ask him if he even votes. He says “I don’t vote but if you really wanted me to I would. I just don’t really know what I’m voting for.” Jesus Christ. I hate saying I get the ick but I got it SO BAD… I just stayed silent because I didn’t know how to respond.

He also does this stupid thing where whenever he’s talking to me he will randomly make a “funny” face and he just looks stupid. Idk why he keeps doing it. I never react or laugh. It’s annoying because I’ll ask him a question and Instead of responding he will do that. It’s like he’s a child.

My final complaint are his little white lies he constantly tells. A few nights ago, he came in bed to cuddle me and I smelled smoke on him. I ask him “did you just smoke?” He says no repeatedly. I’m not an idiot and the smell sticks to his mustache. So I just stare at him. He goes to smell his breath and he was like “fine okay I did”. I don’t know why he does this because I myself smoke every now and then as well! There’s no point in lying.

He deserves a girl that loves him in and out. He deserves someone who is just as goofy and socially unaware as him. I feel kind of stuck because yesterday he was telling me how much he loves me and he wouldn’t know what to do if I left him. Friends, we have only been together 2 months.. I feel like it’s best to break it off now. Theres more things I’d complain about but this post is getting lengthy. And For context, I’m 21 and he’s 25.
