That’s what I was saying, a man doesn’t need a woman as intelligent as himself to be happy. In my own personal experience I am complex and a relationship with a simple person will fail. There’s no moral superiority in simplicity and there’s no inherent pathology in complexity. Perhaps men and women are different.

I'd visit a marriage counselor if you can afford it, any day and any time.

We’re engaged but estranged and that’s what I’ve told him but I’ve gotten no response. My brothers mother in law offered to give us a free couples counseling class when she visits for Christmas.
