A conventional geek or nerd is usually socially introvert, doesn’t care much for typical goings-on or happenings and has very vague or abstruse pastimes. No two people are the same and hence every geek too is really different from another. Being married to a nerd can be good for a lot of reason, but most importantly for his wit, intellect, intensity and endearing qualities. As is true for any relationship, accept him for all quirks and unique facets.

To begin with, it is good to take an active interest in how you can keep your nerdy husband engaged. Usually nerds are socially anxious people and although they may always have a question or two ready in a conversation, they literally are at their wit’s end in trying to figure out their next word before you even answer their first question!

Give him ample opportunity to be open with you, if you listen well, he will always want to share his feelings with you. When the conversations get too taxing or boring for you, lead the discussion to something more interesting or different than the first one. This way you will always be privy to his thoughts and opinions on varied topics.

Given his shyness and social awkwardness, try being there for him when in public, help him to be at ease by giving subtle support or eye contact with a smile to help him open up. Have a word or two with him to make him feel comfortable with the surroundings and accompany him in meeting new people or being a part of healthy conversations. Remember, your husband does not have a disease. It’s a personality he’s nurtured himself into over a period of time and something that has become a natural part of him. Appreciate his strengths and support him to work on turning any seeming weaknesses into positive traits as naturally as you can.

Being married to a nerd doesn’t warrant you become one. But it is wise to share his interests in whatever little way you can. A relationship thrives when both partners work towards it equally. So look for things you both can enjoy together and look forward to, this would strengthen your dependability on each other, your shared passion and interests and encourage you to want to pick up new experiences along life’s journey!
