[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a stable, fairly content marriage of 15+ years, but feeling frustrated at lack of intellectual stimulation from spouse, now that kids are in middle and high school and we have much more time to actually talk.  We're in completely different fields (I'm in an arts-related field, DH is a scientist), our day-to-day work is totally different, our colleagues and interests are different.  My tastes run avante-garde, kind of high-brow, while he is into his area of expertise and sports, so we don't have similar tastes in music, movies, books, even the type of food we're into.  DH is a great dad and great provider, loyal husband, great person overall, and we rarely fight. When we first met we had a strong physical and emotional connection, and that has kept us together over the years.  But now I'm wondering if I need more, as I get frustrated at our lack of intellectual connection and just lack of things to talk about.  I have fellow male artists who I can talk to for hours on end, and I'm increasingly attracted to this.  Anyone else had the same issue and how did you deal with it?   [/quote]

You are an ungrateful snob talking down about your man that probably has no idea what kind of witch he married. I hope he finds better.[/quote]
