Bella,<\/p>\nBella,<\/p>\n
My boyfriend is a great builder, perhaps one of the best in Dominica but he cannot read and write. I didn\u2019t know that until I realized the weird vibes.<\/p>\n
Like whenever he is doing estimates or reading plans, he would ask his partner to take charge of it all.<\/p>\n
I honestly don\u2019t know how he can build so well and he is illiterate. I would send him WhatsApp messages but he always sends back voice notes. I had no idea this was so.<\/p>\n
I love him but don\u2019t want a man who cannot read and write. We have been together for over a year and five months. We don\u2019t have children but he met me with three girls who he has been taking care of.<\/p>\n
He takes care of me as well. He is very very hard working and makes a good living but the cannot read a thing. Ahwah, I cannot deal with that.<\/p>\n
How can I break up with him Bella? I will never stay with an illiterate man. Not me. I am too classy for that.<\/p>\n

Hello V,<\/p>\n
If you loved your boyfriend or better yet, understood what love really is about, then throwing him under the bus because he is uneducated wouldn\u2019t be your first move.<\/p>\n
I am in no position on how to advise you to break up with your partner.<\/p>\n
You claim that he takes care of you but you are willing to throw that away because of his educational level?<\/p>\n
How about talking to him about his shortcoming and seeking help for him? Even you can help him with reading at home.<\/p>\n
There are also adult education classes he can enroll in.<\/p>\n
When people love each other, they don\u2019t just throw them away, especially because they have ended up in situations which they probably had little or no control over.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is even pointless to remain in the relationship now that you have made your intentions known.<\/p>\n
Break up with him in whatever way you chose. Don\u2019t ask me for advice on ending a relationship just because of selfish, meaningless reasons.<\/p>\n
There is probably a woman waiting in the wings to help him with his education and treat him with more understanding and respect than you have.<\/p>\n
