[quote=Anonymous]And married for 10+ years, how's it going?

I have always been smarter than DH. In our 20s, it was a non issue because our past times revolved around social outtings (bars, sporting events, travel, family and friend gatherings etc.) In our 30s he started reading and watching more news to keep up with me. I've become fatigued by news and I basically stopped watching it in 2019, but I still read and stay intellectually engaged on other issues. However, since I don't watch the news as much anymore, DH doesnt either.
We're now in our 40s and in the past year, he's reverted back to spending most of his time watching dumb internet videos, think "Ridiculousness" on MTV. Whenever we discuss anything, I'm noticing that he's just not that smart. His judgement is off and he has zero critical analysis.
He's never been that smart and I'm wondering if it's an age thing...will he get even worse by 50? Or is it more related to the things he spends his off time doing.
And if you have a spouse that is much less intelligent than you, did it become an issue later in your marriage?[/quote]
