[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar marriage to yours, OP. Except my husband is the exceptionally intelligent person (Mensa) while I was simply smart enough.

Like you, he also was impatient if he has to 'explain' things to me. Truthfully, the problem isn't my comprehension it's the fact that he doesn't realize that we have different life experiences and educational backgrounds. I honestly don't know what it means when he brings up scientific journals. Not bc I'm dense but bc I have degrees in music, not science. He knows music as well bc he is so intelligent (not sarcasm) that he studied that as well. He just doesn't understnad sometimes how I don't know everything he does. I think this is the problem with you and your husband, OP.

Be nicer, be more patient, don't be such a jerk or he will leave you. It took my moving out for my DH to realize the problem was never me. We're happily married now but it took work.[/quote]

MENSA is highly overrated.  I wrote the above about the dishwasher.  I'm MENSA, but you would never know it.  My husband is, you would know it immediately, and he's an idiot around the house.[/quote]

You would know my husband is Mensa and he is highly competent at everything that he does. I agree that Mensa is overrated but I just wanted to give the 'proof' of how intelligent he is. He really is amazing now but as I mentioned it took my leaving for him to become more self aware. I'm glad that he learned, though.

I have to admit, though, that your dishwasher story made me laugh. [/quote]

Mensa 98% isn't that smart.  I know because I could join based on my SAT scores for chrissakes and I'm not that smart.  Of course, I took a lot of drugs after that so maybe that had something to do with it.  On the other hand I still managed to be 99%ile in my law school.  Anyway, try Prometheus or Mega society.  That's smart.[/quote]
