because they are very intelligent; such as: well educated and/or bilingual, and makes you wonder why they are with you because you are not even close to their intellectual capabilities?

Not often. That really boils down to two things... trust and compatibilty. A lot of people that are "compatible" are so, because they're on the same intellectual level (amongst many). And it's not really that big of an issue if you trust one-another - and you know she's not going to do anything to cause you grief with it.
And it may be a bit strange, but the more intelligent a person is, the more easily intimidated they generally are, themselves. It's really a double-edged sword.

I am going to write what my husband says to me....Quit reading my mind, well actually, he gets amazed by that. Can't help it it just happens. He is jealous that I have friends. We both have the same education level, and same exact age (46) He is intimidated by my demeanor. He is very smart and kind, but lacks in some people skills. I could care less....I love him no matter what. After 7 yrs together, he doesn't feel so intimidated. I kept telling him that love is not contingent on "status" in this world. Now he believes it.

Yes! Get outta here girl! I don't understand it either - on the Sagg comment the only thing like this for me is my strong Jupiter in the first or possibly ruler of the 7th in the 1st?? But I always thought it was my Leo moon. Pick a fight? No, because I think they can sense the result of that - lol ...but I have seen a weird Alpha female thing come out of some women. Closer to trying to put me down verbally in front of people or bullying and manipulativeness. I leave it be and just don't feed it because it is really obvious and ridiculous when they do it. I think ALL people have something special to offer - have no interest in being one up on another. I have found the only females that I don't do this to and understand it when they see it are Leos, Scorpios, Aquarians and Pisces or have a lot of it in their charts.

Yes - I did. My ex-husband has a high IQ and could be very patronising. I had low self esteem and used to feel panicky about doing things - eg, driving a car when he was there or anything really - I'd end up using the indicators instead of the the windscreen wipers!!! He finally met someone stronger and left me and our kids - I'm stronger now and happier and with a fantastic man so all worked out - I think if I'd worked on my self esteem issues before and he had been more aware of my feelings we may have stayed together and us and kids wouldn't have had to go through it all but hey ho - that's life!

no, my husband has a very high IQ and is a successful attorney while I've only had 3 years of college and was never good at school, but I have good common sense and he admires how I always know things he doesn't we balance each other out. I also think very highly of myself, and no matter how smart or educated you are it's the inside that counts the most.

Yes, I have in the past. But that's when I felt a little insecure about myself. Also, you should talk about this with them. Maybe it's not your problem, or maybe they can help you. I'm sure that they wouldn't want you to feel that way, or they wouldn't be with you if they didn't want you. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose except to feel better about yourself.

No. Even though my husband is a brilliant man with an advanced education, I have my own talents and skills. He can't make a pumpkin cake like I can! I make him laugh and he makes me strong.

Oh my god yes. Now Im not dumb or a ditsy blond but my ex was by far the most smartest human I have ever met. He knew things that most very intelligent people didnt. Some of the intelligent things that came out of his mouth was incredible. I consider myself average when it comes to intelligence and I found his intelligence sooooo god damn sexy. It made me feel dumb at first but then I started asking questions and learning from him. He liked when I would ask questions, they seemed dumb to me but he didnt think they were at all. I learned alot of trivial facts that I never even knew. I love really intelligent guys but not the geeky kind.

Yes, sometimes! I consider myself an "intellectual", but my husband is just brilliant, he knows so much about so many things that sometimes I worry he might get bored with me. Although, there are some areas where my knowledge and insight surpasses his... so I guess, realistically, I could say we're even. :)

Well....My husband and I have been together for 18 years (married 15) and I can tell you he out weighs me big time in the brainiac category...........I am not stupid....I just don't keep a ton of trivial crap in my brain at all times..........But I am HOT and not too bad a cook and pretty good at some other things (if you know what I mean)...I am his WILD side and he loves it!
I know stuff he doesn't and he knows stuff I don't so.......It gives us plenty to talk about and try out!
