I had never been exposed to card games beyond Old Maid and Klondike until I was a young bride, but my first husband just didn’t want to teach me. He was probably smart enough to realize I would learn fast and beat him...
Last husband didn’t seem to think I was capable of learning much. He thought I was cute and dumb.
My husband and I have never played cards.
We do love to watch movies, fish, hike, travel and watch old TV shows. At one time, we skied.
You’re not dumb. Obviously.
I had Credentials, like a National Merit Scholarship, long before I met DP, so he knew I wasn’t dumb. The question was whether he was ... but as it turned out, he wasn’t. He just hadn’t exerted himself all that much, until he had a reason. Then he got a Masters in Electrical Engineering and all.
