To be so upset with boyfriend

So, three years ago I moved abroad to be with my boyfriend, have been going to language classes and doing quite well - have skipped a few grades and am not in one of the final years.

However, I never practice said language, I work in English, have English friends and everybody seems to want to practice thier own English or imitate my accent when I'm around! So today at my class I (embarrassingly) got very upset because my teacher basically said that my vocab, reading and writing were very good but my speaking is utter crap (she said it in a nicer way)

I text boyfriend during my break and tell him I got upset during class and asked if we can switch our main language to his mother tongue (so no actual effort to be made on his part).

I get home and tell him in person how upset I am with myself for not knowing the language better. He then turns to be and says
"you're hopeless, and can't be helped so there is no point practicing with you, a r*** could have learned it faster."

I ask him again because, WTF and he again reiterates that he won't help me and that it's not his fault that my language skills are so bad. (we have had the "switch-over" talk quite a few times)

AIBU to think your fucking partner should help you with something he is clearly able to help with?

OP,

Stay in the Netherlands, you obviously love it.

Find a nicer boyfriend (Flemish?)

Sorry, Belgium not Netherlands.

If I understand correctly, you have been there for three years, which means that you have two years to go before you can apply for Belgian citizenship (you sound eligible to qualify as an "integrated non-Belgian"). Not sure how you feel about that, but it could be useful given the times we live in.

Not much else to say, except that your partner was being a "klootzak". Hopefully for you it's not a permanent condition.
