    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    If he doesn't approve of the gay lifestyle that's his opinion and I can't really argue against it, however, if he believes that being gay is a choice for ALL gay people then I can definitely argue against that with reason. That's denying science. He thinks that gay people should go to therapy...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    So we broke up yesterday. The problem is that he thinks being gay is a choice. The problem is that he believes this because he's intellectually lazy. I'm not saying he's intellectually lazy because his beliefs are different than mine but because I know how he justifies his beliefs. Whenever I...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    My bf doesn't have a narcissistic personality. Also, you're a guy so it's a lot easier for you to meet someone at 35 than it is for a woman. I bet your wife is younger than you. Women are much more heavily judged on beauty and youth. I don't think that 25 is the end but the fact is that the...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    That's true. I mean you can argue that he's prejudiced and that I have the morally correct view but he doesn't really see it that way. He comes from a Christian fundamentalist family. Religion is a huge part of their life. He was raised to believe that being gay is a choice. None of the...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    You don't sound cold at all. By sensitive I mean his emotions are easily affected. He never gets angry, but he has gotten sad/cried several times in front of me. Maybe he's not so emotionally unintelligent compared to the average guy his age but that's not saying much (maybe I'm stereotyping...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    I said he instead of we because I am going to go somewhere to grad school and he will follow me. I appreciate the insight. I will address more of your post down below. It's hard to convey an accurate portrayal of my bf or our relationship in a few posts. He's really not overly controlling. I...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    I'm more worried about the dating field after a certain age. People always say that college is the easiest time to date. However, I've had a lot of trouble finding nice, decent looking guys here.

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    Ugh, I wrote a long reply and then my internet went off. I'm a bit concerned about what will happen if one of our kids ends up being gay. I want my children to feel loved and supported and obviously that might not happen if they end up being gay. Also, I'm not sure that he has a general...

    Boyfriend is very homophobic. Can we make it work?

    My boyfriend is a great boyfriend. He constantly tells me that I'm pretty, texts me often, is affectionate, always wants to spend time with me, cares about me etc. I could have never imagined that a guy would treat me as well as he does. He makes me feel like the only girl in the world. He's...

    Is this a complete undergrad pure math curriculum?

    Ugh, I wish I lived in Europe. First we have sucky high school math education and then we have to deal with all these geneds in college.

    Programs Class sizes at math phd programs?

    Wow, 30-40! Is that for just pure math or pure math+applied math? Also, I know the numbers have been going down since the economy went down the toilet. Are they going back up?

    Programs Class sizes at math phd programs?

    Where can I find class size information for math phd programs? In physics the class sizes seem to be larger (>20). However, It seems like math phd programs on average have only 15 new grad students per year. I can't find the specific information anywhere though. What would be the average class...

    I can't afford to stay an extra year unfortunately.

    Haha this is exactly my plan.

    Is it too late to get into a top math program?

    By impossible, I meant highly unlikely for someone in my situation. Keep in mind that my school's math rank is in the 80's. I think it's a lot easier to get from top 30 to top 10 than to go from top 80 something to top 10. Last year, the best person from my school decided on a school that was...
