Do you mind if your boyfriend or husband is less educated than you?

It's good enough to have a husband that really cares about you,love you and can support the family. I think wealth sometimes really doesn't matter so much but of course not too poor,lol. It's great to hear from you,thanks.

Thank you for your words. They hit me because, I am in love with an ironworker....who would have thought. THe lawyer didn't work out at all except for the 2 beautiful kids. My boyfriend tells me he loves me everyday. BUT, it is hard, he has his own issues, he likes to be the funny one, in a risky businessway, I like the Piano, he is close to ocd, so when I make a joke, it goes through the air and thats about it. Honestly, I know there are different senses of humor, I have two teenagers that like comedy. Its not that Ia am humorless, I am sophisticatedhumor, it doesnt' work with him. Not much of my humor does unless its just silly. I have 7 years of college and he has none. BUt he remembers every person, place and thing he has ever seen. He is brilliant and uneducated. It worked due to love for a year and a bit, but it is wearing on me, because he either doesn't get it ,or chooses not to respond, or is too busy being his near...ocd perfectionist self (which disallows interruptions let alone responses) so I laugh at my own jokes, which are fewer and farther in between because....Hes great in the manly way because he is the epitome of a man, all muscle, verile at 50, cute beyond belief, funny to his friends, a great guy. BUt I am sad because I think I need someone who acknowledges my attempts anyway at jokes, my thoughts, my SELF, which is different than his idea of life. I want it to work, yet when I get frustrated, I can only think what more can I do in the bedroom because I know that gets his attention. It's not horrible but I know me, if I don't get some wisdom quick, I might make it fail R

I definitely agree with your idea. You are really smart to accept that combination. Some people want to have a partner who equals with what they are and what they have. But you are right!!! if you love the person, you will value what's in her/him and make it as a good combination of what you both have to make the best of your future. great!!!!

I like what both of you have said because your descriptions fit very well into my life. I have the same feelings now: i was working hard on getting a bachelor's degree in business administration, and my boyfriend was putting his effort into graphic design. I was always afraid that we won't be able to understand each other (although i am very interested in art), meaning us having different priorities in reaching the goals. It appeared to be that reading a lot, researching and analyzing was my way of getting things done. On the contrary my boyfriend didn't use lots of logical thinking, but relied more on creativity. I guess that's a common thing for many couples. Se7enbird, you really helped to clear that out: we should see such relationships as a benefit for both sides: it's a great way to learn from each other,and expand our worldviews.

Also I think everyone is master in their field and we can't compare two persons as everyone have some distinct quality which makes him different from others.

Also we have to see that what were the conditions and problems faced by him during his education.There can be so many factors like responsibilities,Financial crises etc.
