The Mind of Ms. H-Dog

[MJontheMend]

. I also think and express myself in analogies, and one time when I was tossing them out left and right, my bf accused me of "dumbing down" my conversation by using analogies

My H doesn't like my use of analogies in convos either because he feels like I'm turning him or whatever I'm talking about into an abstraction. I can see his point, but I can't help it, my brain works by theory or analogy. When I studied math, I was a whiz at theory and a dunce at practical application. I would say the #1 problem with our relationship, beyond the sexual is the fact that my H doesn't like or appreciate the way my brain works( he doesn't even think I'm funny much of the time). He is jealous of my intelligence in much the same way he is jealous of my sex drive. This is what he has told me.

I sometimes think the simplest explanation for the LDH phenomenon is that their HDWs intimidate them to the point of impotence. In my sich, I don't think there is much I can do about this because the things about me that intimidate my H, my sex drive and my intelligence, are things that I can't change and wouldn't if I could.
