[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my wife and have been happily married to her for 20+ years, but the truth is she's dumb as a rock. I try to focus on her good qualities (very pretty, sense of humor, fashion sense, etc.) and it helps me to appreciate her for what she is. When I want to have some sort of intellectually stimulating experience, I either read a book or watch a documentary (without her).[/quote]

I have observed over the years that quite a few men are in this type of a relationship and it doesn't bother them at all.  As you mentioned, their wives are typically pretty and have other qualities they appreciate like a good sense of humor, they are kind, they may have a lovely personality.  Many men don't value intelligence in a spouse, or ambition and competency either.  I think the dynamic the OP is referring to is generally more of a dilemma for women than men.[/quote]

Agree. For women, it’s more of a question of finding a spouse that doesn’t mind that they’re smart. My DH told me that one of his friends asked him “Are you sure you want to marry her? You’re not going to get away with [u]anything[/u].”[/quote]
