HUSBAND INTIMIDATED BY WIFE HAVING HIGHER IQ THAN HIM, FLIRTS WITH HER SISTER

My husband is mad that I have a higher IQ and he says that he is not attracted to me anymore.

As the title says. He came home one day and gave me login’s to some iq test and I scored higher than him. First he was in disbelief then a bit sulky. I thought the whole thing was stupid and I never thought or experienced that I’m “smarter” and I never understood the logic of these tests.

Anyway since then he has changed. He doesn’t want to cuddle or kiss me or anything. Last Saturday we attended a birthday party for my little nephew and my husband spent the evening chatting up my SIL’s sister who is very pretty.

When we got home I just had it up to here with him and started crying because he ignored me for alt least three weeks and now he is flirting with other people.

He denied everything. He denied being changed with me since the test but I wasn’t backing down this time. I told him that I wasn’t stupid and that he stopped being affectionate since that damned day.

He finally admitted that he was turned off by the fact and wasn’t attracted to me. I asked him if he still wasn’t attracted to me and why? I haven’t changed.

I’m still me. He apologized and said that he would put his shit together and that he knows how silly this is.

But he has been ”wary” around me since. I still think he is turned off by me. What can I do now?

Netizens’ comments

1. I hate to be this person but I couldn’t trust him anymore. Seriously, he was flirting with someone right in front of you because he’s mad that you’re smarter than him. That’s disgusting behavior. If you want it to work out then couples counseling is a must, but really ask yourself if you are attracted to him after his behavior. My spiteful @ss could never put up with some of the men on this app.
2. Honestly if he’s this hung up on an online iq test, I probably wouldn’t be attracted to him much either.
   For one, tbh this whole thing is trivial and he’s dragging it out. Secondly, to me this is a red flag, he views someone smart as unattractive.
   Then he flirts with someone else right in front of you.
   You should find someone smarter, who also treats you better.
3. I mean, this behaviour really isn’t showing him as an intelligent person. Yikes.
