different intelligence levels

Sounds insurmountable.

On the other hand, I have known people whose opinion of their intelligence versus someone else's does not jibe with my impression of the same.

And the fact that you have come to such a reassessment indicates a fault in your ability to evaluate intelligence accurately in the first place. (I suppose love was blind.)

What I'm saying is, something else might be going on here. As Davy Crockett would say, just be sure you're right before going ahead (or moving on).

Do you love this man? Are there other qualities in him that would make up for his level of intelligence? Unless you can honestly answer with a resounding "yes" to both my questions, you are headed for a life of anger and frustration.

Sometimes women who are married to men who are their intellectual inferiors, have happy lives despite this difference. If the man is kind, considerate and caring, sometimes it can be as important as lack of intellect. It also relates to the depth of the differences in intellect. Is your husband simply not quite as bright as you, or is he really not terribly bright at all?

Brighter women will often assume responsibilities that often are primarily left to the man..............finances, major decisions. Are you able to do this in your marriage?

You need to weigh all these things, before you decide on a course of action. BTW, how long are you married, and are there any children involved?

wow look at all the colors.
My wife is waay smarter than me, which is ok. I dont have to worry about saying things in public because she will explain that its my meds.
What makes me a little dubious is that , how did you guys find each other? did he drag you off bodily?

Remember , the things that attract us to our mates are the very things that will drive us nuts after the wedding. Maybe thats where youre at.

as phoenix noted, it's one thing if he's normal & you're superbright, another if you're somewhat above average & he's significantly below average. if you're the one who's gifted, you'll probably have a hard time finding too many available people at your level that you're also compatible with. in that case, you either go it alone, or compromise and decide what traits are the most important in a relationship.

How long have you been married?

Maybe you should have realised his level of intelligence before you got married.

Also it could be a case of his intelligence level has dropped since he has been married to you.

You put something in the tea and he dropped.

I am sure he wasn't any smarter before you got married, so there must have been something about him other than his intellect that made you fall in love with him and decided to get married.
So I suggest you concentrate on his other virtues.

I have only one thing to say: "Flowers For Algernon"
