My wife will excuse some her apparent stupidity on self-diagnosed ADHD. In short, she gets distracted very easily and can't track well in a normal conversation. Even one she started.
Her on the phone with me: "Okay, I'm leaving to pick the kids up and take them to the park."
Me: "Okay. How long are you going to be there?"
Her: "Up where?"
Me: "The park. How long are you going to be at the park?"
Her: "Oh! I don't know."
Me: "I was just thinking I could meet you there after I get off work."
Her: "Meet us? Meet us where? Just come home; I'm not taking the kids back out after we get home."
Me: "I. Know. I mean I could meet you guys at the park if you were still there when I get off work."
Her: "Oh."

Hi. I found your site out of sheer frustration this evening. Married 21 years. She has been living in this country for even longer than that and is finally applying for naturalization. I asked her what are the 3 branches of government. Blank stare. I asked her what are the two bodies of Congress. Blank stare. I was tempted to ask her what was on sale this week at Penney's, but decided not to go there.
We met back in college, and I should've suspected something back then: I bought a cordless phone, back when they first came out. We're talking and I tell her, "hey I just got this new phone, its cordless!"
Her: "Really? You mean you don't have to pay a phone bill anymore?"
I would say you still have it better than I do, my wife does the same thing, but she is not pretty, as you said she can't carry on a conversation, the only thing she is good for is company. I do love her but same as you, I can't complain specially to her so I used this today as an outlet. Nice blog by the way it makes me feel better knowing I am not the only one in a similiar situation.

MAN YOU HAVE NO IDEA MY GIRLFRIEND IS SO DAMN SLOW MAN
I have a moron wife who happens to have a master's degree. Here's the conversation we had tonight while sitting outside:
Me: There's supposed to be a visible meteor shower later this month. It's supposed to be in the area of the Little Dipper.
Her: Where's the Little Dipper?
Me: Right there (pointing).
Her: I can't tell the difference between the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper.
Me: Well, the Little Dipper is little and the Big Dipper is big.
Her: Oh. I never claimed to be an Astronomist.
Me: Ugh.
Okay,
Here's a brilliant conversation I had with my Master's degree wife while we were sitting outside this evening.
Me: There's supposed to be a meteor shower later this month in the area of the Little Dipper.
Her: Where's the Little Dipper?
Me: Right there (pointing).
Her: I can never tell the difference between the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper.

OMG I love this blog. I love my wife but she's a dimwit and gets angry with me about the stupidest things.
i.e. She gets mad at me when I don't was the dishes but when I do she rewashes them because I don't do it good enough.
Uhmmm no offense to ihooka lab, but maybe she is right, your wife being angry at you for washing the dishes wrong sounds like a valid reason to get angry at, I bet you anything she is now looking at a blog called my husband is an idiot lol (jokingly said)
It's my 50th birthday in a couple of weeks. Initially I said let's just go out for dinner and get a good steak. She wanted to do a party for me. I said I didn't feel like organizing a party and all the work involved. Meanwhile everyone we know from my side of the family (parents siblings aunts etc) are asking me what's going on. Then, last week my wife asked me if I wanted a surprise party. I guess that's not going to happen... Anyway, because we just moved into a new house in June, 2012 we decided to do birthday/house warming and have it catered by a party planning/caterer here in town. I had to find the caterer because she "doesn't know how" although she spends countless hours on the internet... She got a quote from the caterer I provided to her which is completely inappropriate for the occasion and includes 3 different types of desserts costing over $120 on top of the actual food (which is in excess of $400. I asked her why the caterer would providing this obviously inappropriate quote including all these desserts when it's a birthday party - presumably there is going to be a birthday cake (not that I really care but everyone including our kids who are 3 and 5 would be expecting it/disappointed if we didn't have one) "Oh, I didn't tell her it was birthday party because I didn't think I should." Then she had a complete meltdown screaming fit and I'm driving her crazy and that she can't deal all of this etc...
So now I guess I'll have to plan the party I never wanted...
