<human>: My boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 months now. He's amazing; our relationship is amazing. BUT... He does these paintings, and I honestly think they're so terrible. They're abstract and basically just random shapes, which I've always thought is dumb. Plus the brushwork isn't even good--the lines get all muddy (like, brown). And he's so proud of them! My mom is an artist, and I cringe a little bit when I think about him showing his artwork to her.

Do I just suck it up and pretend to like them for the foreseeable future? I mean, I know it's early days yet, but we've talked about it a bit and we're both very serious about this relationship, and if we move in together, he's going to want to put this stuff up on our walls. With any luck I could end up having to lie about this for the rest of our lives!

Should I suggest that we take an art class together? I'm not a super creative type myself but it's all I've been able to think of. What do I do?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: My boyfriend paints stupid art, should I pretend to like it or should I try to gently let him know my real opinion?
