Condescending Man Thinks His Younger Boyfriend Isn't 'Educated' Enough For Academic Conversation

It's not a given that we are going to be similar to our partners. Sure, we hope to have similar values, but often, we have very different personalities and passions. That's totally okay. They always say opposites attract, and that holds true in relationships too. As long as the people involved in the relationship respect each other's passions and interests, then it could be a wonderful relationship with many different insights available from the other person. But if someone doesn't think the other person is up to par with their standards, it's not going to work out. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP is a man in his 40s who works in academia and is dating a man in 20s. Obviously, the age gap could lead to some conflict, but that's not the point of the story here. He told us about how he got frustrated because he didn't believe his young boyfriend could keep up with the academic conversation he and his friends were having. In our opinion, OP sounds like a snob and a half, but what do you think? Scroll down for all the details.
