You’re probably thinking that I’m about to talk about the pros of having a logical and smart man who can help you problem solve and answer all the hard questions you have and teach your children things that are beyond your intellect. Now those things are pretty great but there’s a lot of challenges that go along with it too.
For starters people who are gifted usually lack some other type of knowledge and in my husbands case this is social skills. Now don’t get me wrong he has always known this was his downfall and did everything in his power to study and read up on how to attain that skill and he did a pretty great job with that. There’s still things though you can’t learn in a book. which is why a lot of people would consider him an “ass”. 😂 I feel sometimes jealous of his complete lack of modesty. Maybe he knows something we don’t. People these days call that cocky. It used to bother me a lot, however the more I learn the more I realize modesty has done nothing but tell us to sweep our talents under the table and not talk about what you’re good at. He is good at basically everything he sets his mind to.
There’s another problem with logic, that being as a female you mostly think emotionally. That’s a problem because in my experience there is no logic whatsoever in emotions. It makes him unable to understand me and where I’m coming from basically always. I believe that is just as frustrating for him as it is me. It’s what gives females the reputation as “crazy“.
Another struggle is that when he wants to have a conversation about something that interests him he has very few people he can talk to about it. I’ve learned as the wife it’s your obligation to be his sounding board and at least try to understand the things he wants to share with you (like quantum physics or about how time travel would work if it was possible🤔). I personally listen intently and ask for explanations as much as possible. It’s a real gift that you’re the one he chooses to have these conversations with.
You know logic can also really come in handy when you’re dealing with an emotional crisis and he’s completely un-phased becauSe he knows that logically nothing could really end up that bad knowing the logic of it all. Acting emotionally, well it feels appropriate but it’s not going to serve you it will only break you.
I guess that’s what makes him a strong man. Knowing that using knowledge and logic will be what wins in the end.
Journey to the now.
