[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a thread once here I think (and I think on website corporette) on couples with very different educational levels.

I'm not the OP, but I wanted to chime in with support and empathy for OP.  I'm in the same boat.  I try to tell myself this bolded part, but frankly poor judgment and a lack of critical thinking skills IS usually "less than."

I know exactly the type of which she speaks, and no, they don't make up for it in street smarts or emotional IQ or whatever else.  In fact, they are lacking across the board, in all measures of mental sharpness.  Why did I marry him?[b]  Because he's hot, great in bed, and kind.[/b]  But we have definitely clashed at times due to his lack of reasoning skills.[/quote]

Well  those aren't very good reasons to marry someone, so much for being smart.[/quote]
