Make no mistake, the dumber party dictates the pace, tone and overall character of any relationship for the simple reason that (e.g.) she can be herself whereas (you) cannot. If youre going to marry, marry the brightest available girl.

Just because a woman is intelligent by female standards doesn't mean you'll be having an intellectual relationship with her.

>> No.12014397

>>12014174
I'm not, but I have been in some relationships. My major point here is that whatever her abilities the relationship is going to be conducted at THAT level: she'll be who she is, youll be someone else. It may not sound like a big deal but it is: she'll be 'in charge.'
I also concur with the observation of the first anon who responded.

>yourself
Based OP still believing in "yourself". This is why you think enjoyment is relevant.

To answer your question, no, because I am in love with Sancho Panza's donkey.

Never put it like that, but that's a definite problem in my current one.

I'm working a dead-end job, though, am penniless, and am driving her car when I need to get around because I don't have one. U'know, until I get some full ride for an MFA in creative writing or another writing gig. So I'm not some prize. In fact, I hate myself.

But the conversations we can have are limited by her relatively lesser education, and I have no friends in this city I moved to for her, so I'm drying up. Oh god.

What it is is that youre too hard on yourself for being in a position of moral weakness (and it isn't this girl's fault that she has this leverage, she probably just wants to help), i.e. for NOT BEING ABLE to BE yourself in this relationship, and thetefore as a kind of liar that (you) tricked yourself into being for whatever payoff.
What I mean by this is that everything (you) say and do with her must first be filtered, edited or even dumbed down so that she can comprehend what youre saying, what youre doing. But it's in this process that who (you) really are is lost, and it's this loss of identity- as well as the fact that she is right generally speaking, and that (you) are wrong generally speaking- that (you) hate.
It's a horrible predicament to be in, especially if she's in love, and youre going to have to be very careful extricating yourself from these circumstances- because it's the type of situation that can fuck (you) up even worse than her, i.e. if youre ultimately an honest human being. If so there's hope, but at some distance down the road. Good luck, anon- been there. Be just quietly (or as just as you can) is my only advice.

I couldn't bring myself to befriend anyone who has a use for Cervantes or Tolstoy, whose genuine surprise at the brutality and cynicism of power-hungry people, in or out of authority, reads to me as the all-time, perpetual, eternal, Captain Obvious way of reacting to life's common hazards. Just as in life, I like a little more cunning than that in literary companionship--players, if you will, born knowing how to game the world.

I met one once. She was an 80-year-old pianist, was taught by a student of Ferruccio Busoni. We had an endless, incoherent and meandering discussion that jumped from Ivo Pogorelich to Homer to a certain sacral modernist painter (her personal friend, who died some 40 years ago because of alcoholism) to Schoppenhauer to Baudelaire to Monteverdi.
It was wankery of titanic proportions, truth be told.

(You) talk too much for that to be even remotely true, and severely under estimate the potence of actual readers. But suit yourself, leave all to chance and your own naivety.

I tried to but unbeknownst to me her catheter tubing had wrapped around my leg so when I got down on one knee it popped right out and sprayed some urine in my mouth and on my shirt. She had to call her live-in nurse to replace it but there was some tearing of the urethra and she had to go to an urgent care clinic because she's on blood thinners so the timing didn't seem right.

I actually came to her house to take away the books of her dead husband that have been gathering dust there for a while. Pretty cool, found some valuable first editions of early modernist texts, Schoppy, Heidegger, Croce...

Sorry, anon, I was more interested in books back when I was in school than in the names of the parts of the female reproductive system. I know what the male urethra is, I just don't know if the thing is called the same in women.

I am married and I'm a good deal, ahem, more intellectually capable than she. What I've noticed is that she tries to argue about shit for no reason, only to prove me wrong which she rarely does, but I don't even mind being wrong, but she gets really mad, so it's not worth even defending ones ideas. And, the other thing is I catch her espousing my own concepts, thoughts and ideas to other people without attributed them back to me, even in my presence. We even had an argument one time about this, about whose idea something was, not that I care whose idea it was but it wasn't hers and she was claiming it. I believe that this kind of thing is the work of devils, may God curse them

You just need some intellectual friend(s). You'll have to seek for the sublime within the mundane with her, but there is beauty inherent in all things. She wants you to be happy, so allow her to make you happy
