Her Boyfriend Has A Super High IQ And Constantly Corrects Her Or Calls Her Stupid
This woman has a boyfriend who boasts a super high IQ. He’s actually a card-carrying member of Mensa.
To be part of Mensa, you have to score in the highest 2% of society on an intelligence test, which means you score a minimum of 132. The average IQ score is around 100, in case you were curious.
So, this woman and her Mensa man have been dating for a year, and they have had a lot of problems pop up along the way, which all comes down to her boyfriend’s intelligence.
“I truly love my boyfriend and feel he does too, and we had an instant connection,” she explained.
“However, due to his high IQ, he corrects me constantly. It’s to the point I had to tell him he has told me I’ve done something wrong five times, just today, and it’s not even 5 p.m.”
“He tells me to stop doing things incorrectly, and he won’t have to correct me. He has also called me stupid numerous times.”
He will refer to her as having blonde moments or behaving in a way that’s silly. She thinks he has to be right since he’s the one who’s technically smarter.
But she finds his words hurtful and has tried to bring this up to him many times, in different ways, hoping to get her point across. It doesn’t matter if she’s lighthearted or brought to tears in the moment; he still doesn’t get it.
It’s taking a negative toll on her mental health to be faced with so much criticism from someone who’s supposed to love her.

She has actually sobbed in front of her boyfriend before while stating his words hurt her, but his critiques never let up.
“I’ve shamefully gotten angry over it and yelled in defense, and I have also had heartfelt talks about it,” she said.
“I’ve even asked him to back off the remarks and give me a break because I’m sensitive. I’ve told him he doesn’t need to always correct me and tell me when I’m wrong that sometimes he can let me [mess] up for myself.”
In an effort to calm herself down, she always maintains that her boyfriend loves her and she should not take this part of his personality personally, but that doesn’t help her any.
Her boyfriend’s remarks are beginning to chip away at her self-esteem, and she’s worried he may be manipulating her in some way.
“Is anyone dating someone with a high IQ and can relate?” she wondered. “Is it manipulation? I just need to talk to someone who understands.”
