[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is me and my husband. I wouldn’t choose the wording you did but I enjoy having conversations about intellectually stimulating topics where my husband likes to talk about more concrete topics like household repairs, funny stories from the past, etc. He watches those shows like Rediculousness and other YouTube/TikTok type collections of funny videos. I went through a phase of feeling frustrated and embarrassed about his seeming lack of intelligent conversation but after a recent health crisis, I’ve realized that he is a good man who is very smart and just doesn’t find enjoyment in the same podcasts, documentaries and books that I do. It’s all about finding common interests. We both are very interested in true crime and cooking/baking. We also both love to hike. I have great friends who engage with me about other topics. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks for sharing this. This is helpful. I'm starting to feel more and more that COVID is likely heightening my feelings. I haven't been able to spend time with any but one of my good friends in over a year, so I'm missing out on some of those social intellectually stimulating convos. We used to do zoom friend meetings, but we're mostly all zoomed out these days. Hopefully summer will allow for more COVID safe socializing that will help me feel this gap.[/quote]
