Illiterate boyfriend

I discover that my boyfriend can't read or write, should I dump him because of that?

If your boyfriend already has a job or plans to have a job that doesn't require reading or writing (or if he's wealthy and doesn't need to work at all) not being able to read or write isn't necessarily a deal breaker. There are learning disorders like dyslexia that make reading very difficult - it's possible to be smart despite not being able to read or write. However, if you plan to be with him in the long run, you will need to be prepared to be responsible for anything that requires reading such as reading financial documents, instruction on bottles of medicine, etc.
