Do you ever see your partner as more or less intelligent than you are?

My current partner is more booksmart than I am, which is saying something because I’d consider my self pretty intelligent. This is a big change for me, as I have regularly been the one in the relationship to be more quickwitted, usually the one to come up with solutions to problems first, etc. And to be honest, it’s been the end of a few relationships when it became clear the girl I was dating couldn’t handle my intelligence, so this is pretty refreshing for me. We’re both scientists, and it’s super awesome to be able to come home and tell her about what I’m working on and get insightful suggestions and discussion.
However, I’d also say I’m far more emotionally intelligent than she is. I regularly can sense something’s up with her before she can, and I am able to read the subtleties of what’s going on in a situation much quicker than she is.
Does it bother me? Not really. And I don’t think it bothers her— she still comes to me to be a sounding board for her research sometimes, but mostly prefers to think internally anyways. Occasionally I get frustrated, and I think it’s because the emotional intelligence gap is way more than the booksmart gap.
In terms of seeking intellectual stimulation: I know she talks to her labmates, etc about her research more than she talks to me, and I’m fine with that. And as far as I know, she is too. For me and emotional intelligence stimulation, I think by talking to someone, and she’s perfectly fine with listening to me for that. I also talk with my friends about those things as well. I think it works so well for us because we both recognize we both have different strengths, and use them to the advantage of both of us.
