I think it moreso has to do with the attitude of the more educated person and how they attribute themselves to their partner.
When one of the two feel superior
Never
When there is disrespect for the other person's achievement or it's under rated..
If one feels like they are not at the same level as their partner
When one feels showed up by the other or embarra
Well...one can fail, drop out, and get a sucky ass job, like working at a fast food place or walmart, and the other can succeed, graduate, go to college and get a good paying job, like an architect, doctor, or veterinarian.
It's only problematic if it bothers one of them. A PhD can be married to a HS drop out as long as they respect each others different abilities. The biggest problem can be with children. They would need to agree on how much education would be a priority or not in relation to other things like sports...
When one makes a big deal about it by either making the other feel inferior or by making themselves believe it makes a difference.
Superiority complexes and failure to understand where the other is coming from
Oh my gosh you are asking someone who just took a course in Sociology. No way i can answer this.
Never thought it could be a problem.
Differences in education background can significantly improve a relationship if both partners respect each other. I have a technical bachelors degree and my wife has an associated in liberal arts but she is the smartest person I know (except for math - LOL)
I have never had trouble with any of those, but i guess it might create a gap in sharing information in couples.
