[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you spoken with him about it--about your feelings of inferiority, and also your lack of interest in some of his interests?  What does he say?

A PP (male) distinguished between intelligence and intellectual.  Good point.

My DH and I are well-educated, and very interested in history, but aren't that interested in art.  For example, we took the kids to Philadelphia last weekend to do the historical stuff, but opted to go see Eastern State Penitentiary instead of the (apparently world class) Art Museum.  Although we did go by the Art Museum to take a picture at the Rocky statue and we ran the steps while humming the tune…

I know…I feel like some here would say "It's a crime!"  LOL but that's how it is with us, and it's a match.

However; I've learned a lot about things I was not interested in from my DH (military history, football) and he from me (lots about animals, and social behavior, and conflict resolution).  There's not a sense of inferiority.  That's the part you really need to address, OP.  Hopefully you can learn from each other--and part of this hinges on if he's a know-it-all, or open to learning something from you.  That "something" doesn't have to be an academic subject, btw.  Could be the benefits of getting your Omega-3s, or the differences between fur and hair in different dog breeds![/quote]
