Do you think your partner is smarter than you and does it bother you if they are

Oh we have had many conversations on how I am more "pulled together" and "smarter" than he is. That's ok with us. I still have my brain farts and blonde moments plus he makes more money than I do ... it all evens out... at least thats what I like to think anyway :)

I dont bother when my partner is smarter, but I do feel proud that she is. But I should also say that she is not smarter in ALL, but she is smarter in MANY. I do give her the way to do those activities in which she is good and support her from the back. I do feel proud about that.

I am 'intelligently' smarter than my husband, and he know is, but he is smarter than me in other ways. In this way, we compliment each other and have our good points & bad points. For instance, in the shop we run together, there are some things in which he is better, and if we are there at the same time I will let him handle, and then there are things in which I am better. It is a matter of helping each other out, and complementing each other. I think if you can help your wife out with the household duties then that will make her happy, and she will see how smart you are with that.

I am not with anyone now but I guess if it so happens that my partner is smarter than I am, that would be good, therefore I will learn a lot of things from him. And having someone who is intelligent is not as bad since I would probably learn a lot from our conversations and those conversations would probably make a lot of sense. If it happens that I am the smarter one, then I also believe that my partner should take it as a compliment to have someone who's smart. Being smart is an asset, and between partners, I strongly believe that it is not something to be insecure about rather something to be proud of. It is better for one of you to be smart, then you will learn eventually during the course of the relationship.

I don't know who is smarter, 'cause it's not important! Respect and love are important. I can do something my partner doesn't, and viceversa. Maybe it's true the opposite ones are attracted!!

Compatibility is what that shud matter. Not anything else. I personally wud be proud of my spouse,if he is smarter than me.But hey ,thats the way i feel and i think there are some people who dont to. No big deal.Its their personality. I wud personally encourage my spouse for better things which i do even now. I know he is smart and can do much better.

I know my husband is smarter than me. Why do I say that? Well because i have to ask him questions that i don't know the answer too lol I know silly huh. But I'd rather ask than not know. I don't mind that he's smarter than me in anyway, I just know that I can go to him and ask him such things and get a straight answer from him with out him saying i don't know or something else.. I think you are right though on one thing it does bother SOME men that some women are smarter than them it doesn't really mean anything though they just tend to know more is all.

I really like smarter partner. It will not bother me. But the fact that I don't have a smarter partner bothers me daily.

I think that I am smarter (sometimes), but really there is no competition , we both know more about different things and its good, because we can learn of each other too.

i wont say that my husband is smarter than me completely. ther are topis that he is more informed on that i am. yet, there are things that i am more educated on than he is. there are times when i feel that he is trying to test my intelligence...but actually it isnt even intelligene that he is testing me on, its the "up to date info" of the world that he is asking me about. i love him, and i love to have in depth conversations with him. if it wasnt for us testing eachother, i think that things might get boring. i also am proud when i can argue my point of view and win. i am a stay at home mom and dont want him to think that i have nothing up there. he keeps me on my toes and i keep him on his.

Not a big deal for me...If he is then I would be very lucky for having him...hehehe
