There's a big educational difference with my wife and I as well. She has an Associates, BS, and an MS. I have about 63 credits at a local community college. She is very good and knowledgeable about what she does. However, I would consider my general knowledge to be vastly superior to hers. For instance, she has absolutely no interest in reading for pleasure, and she couldn't tell you who wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream or what it's about, but she can teach 4th grade like nobody's business. On the flip side, I plan on returning to school in the next few years. Was thinking about majoring in languages and history. Not sure yet.

Anywhoo:

About a month ago my wife says "What if we move the big couch so it's against the windows, and move the love seat so it's in front of the tv?" I say "I don't like it. We give up too much sitting space in front of the tv, and we use the big couch the most".

The same conversation was had 3 times. I come home one day and it's moved the way she wanted it. She says "How do you like it?". I say "I told you how I like it the last 3 times you asked me. It sucks". About a week of having no room to sit in front of the tv and she says "I don't like it, you were right. Help me move it back", to which I say "You moved it here, you move it back".

Then there's the "You just can't wiiiiiin" factor. They can tell you the sky is pink at midnight, and no matter how you try to reason with them, it makes sense to THEM.

Then there's the "Hey, My husband just picked up, and very deliberately thumbed through a book to get to a certain page, now he's being intensely studious about it. He must want me to blab in his ear for the next 25 minutes non-stop".

OK...this has officially become the b#tch about your spouse thread...
