Re: Hot Commodity!

One of the definitions of illiterate is not being able to read and write it doesn't however mean that the person is "stupid" or can't learn, understand etc. That being said a person who cannot read (and I mean cannot read not have some trouble reading but can figure it out) lives in a whole other world than a literate person and I think that would prove difficult in a relationship.

My student when he goes out to dinner with his wife orders the same thing Steak and Potatoes because he says every restaurant has it. When he goes to the races, he just picks the numbers because he can't read the names of the horses, when he and his wife went to the Passion of the Christ she didn't tell him that it was in another language and subtitled cause she knew he wouldn't go. When he is in a restaurant and goes to the bathroom he looks for the symbol or knows that "man" is shorter than "woman" but he got confused when a restaurant had "ladies" and "gentlemen" on it. He makes up the stories when his grand children brings him books to read, his wife pays all the bills and reads all the mail,the list goes on and on. It is not easy for either of them.

I admire him for choosing to learn at this age and he has made great strides, and I admire his wife too cause I only spend a little time with him each week and sometimes I find myself getting frustrated.

Re: Hot Commodity!

He's not the best looking, he cant read and he still lives with his mother.. yet depite those 3 there seem to be some good qualities in him! Maybe now that he's being crowded by other women, maybe YOU are seeing more value in him? Enough to make an investment in teaching him to read? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img] I wouldnt advise that teaching part btw, it is not easy to teach an adult, especially one where there's a previously established 'relationship'...

He has a positive attitude, always laughing and he is very helpful. I bought a excercise bicycle and he put it together as well as when I bought a computer desk and computer he called his friend over and they both put everything together. He's a good guy. I'd easily help him if he wants me to.

Nunya, I know you may not believe I'm equipped to help an adult with such an issue and while you may be right initially, whenever I put my mind to something I do so diligently.
I know heavy emotions(fear, shame, fear, fear) are attached to such issues but I most certainly would use all the available tools at my disposal to handle them as best as possible...
