We had the who is better looking thread, now who do you think is smarter, you or your SO?
My SO and I have different smarts. I think we're both intelligent (he's an engineer and I'm in science-though it's only high school teaching!) but I think my SO is far more clever than I am. He fixes stuff all the time and can come up with really neat ideas. He also knows much more about machines than I do and on occasion likes to explain how things work to me. I like that he's excited about his work... but really I don't care about the inner workings of a turbine...
But, I think I have more common knowledge than he does. Just a year ago he moved out of his parent's house so he didn't know anything about doing laundry, cooking, cleaning. I even had to teach him how to pump gas since there's no self-service in CR! He has learned so much, but there's still a lot to go Things I think everyone should know (like how to make mac n' cheese from a box) he needs direction with.
