[quote=Anonymous]My husband is in the brilliant category -- graduated top of his class in both college and grad school (he attended a "Harvard-Yale-Princeton-Stanford-MIT" school for each).  I am very impressed by and attracted to his intelligence.  I'm happily married to him.  But if you're looking for the downfalls, I can enumerate some for you:

1.  He can get very impatient when people don't want to talk about his intellectual interest, and frustrated when you can't keep up when he does.  He is socially awkward.  He has a hard time slowing down and being patient.  Our children don't have homework yet, but I am nervous about his ability to oversee homework.

2.  He has little common sense or interest in non-intellectual things.  He is too absorbed in books, etc. to notice that chores need to be done, and difficult to engage to do them.  He would not notice that DD is running around with Cheerios in her hair, or that the sink is full of dishes.

3.  He can be judgmental and have high expectations ... of everyone.  He treats people with respect, but there is internal judgment going on (that I get to hear about).  This can be stressful to deal with.
