My [27/M] boyfriend makes excuses for his parents being technology illiterate. It seems more like his parents just don’t want to learn.

I care because we talk about his life and problems. Just like I’m sure your family and friends talk about their life to yours. Ive even said “If you can’t do it. And they can’t. Then just let them sit there”. And he’ll say “That’s what happening. But they need to be rid of. If we sell this house the cars have to go”. I don’t know if he just wants to vent and rant and doesn’t want a solution or what. One time his dad bought another car from his friend for really cheap hoping to sell it for more money and my bf freaked out on him , and told his dad NEVER again is he allowed to buy a car because next time it’s going in the junk yard. His dad has like an obsession with selling and buying stuff. It’s weird. I don’t get involved with the car stuff, I don’t bring it up. I only make comments when my bf says something. But I can’t because my answer is always the same “If you want to sell stuff in the 21st century it comes with a computer. Otherwise forget it”. Apparently, that’s a wrong and offending answer. I’m not going to be tactful about it bc i know the truth! Tact is just not saying true stuff!
