I understand how your boyfriend feels. For years I was embarrassed about being dyslexic. I am beginning to feel better about myself because of all the recent research that has been appearing in magazines,newspapers and the internet about dyslexia.
Your boyfriend should understand that his dyslexia has nothing to do with his intelligence. Many well known people have dyslexia. Cher, Tom Cruise, Goldie Hawn,Bruce Jenner, Whoopi Goldberg, Henry Winkler, Guy Richie, Magic Johnson, Andy Warhol, George Patton, Nelson Rockefeller, Woodrow Wilson, Charles Schwab are just to name a few. Read the article "The Dyslexic CEO" by Betsy Morris which appeared in the May, 2002 issue of Fortune magazine and "Tracing Business Acumen to Dyslexia by Brent Bowers which appeared in the Dec. 6, 2007 issues of the New York Times. I got it on line at the NY Times website. Tell his sister about these people.
Your boyfriend needs counseling. He needs to feel good about himself. It took a long time for me to feel good about myself. How old is he? Does he work? Does he like his job?
Your boyfriend is very lucky to have you for his girlfriend because you sound like an intelligent person who is warm-loving and understanding. You probably can help him.
Please do not tell anyone about his dyslexia. If he wants anyone to know, let it come from him. Tell him you love him and he can trust you. Good luck.
