@stanleybmanly I wouldn’t describe it that way personally. In my experience SOME very intelligent people are occupied with their field of interest rather than the mundane.
A professor once was so busy looking at the stars and computing, he forgot about his wife. Poor Gary was the dearest nerd I’ve ever known and never intended her to love him, let alone try to make a marriage work. If anyone, he needed someone good with being alone until he came back down to earth.
He didnt lack the capacity to love it just wasn’t her romantic notion of such.
Its not cold, though, maybe distracted is a better word. She fell in love with who she wanted him to be rather than the mad scientist he was.
