I have a learning disability too, but I have two four year college degrees and am currently working on my Masters degree. It is very difficult. But I'm gonna get it if it takes the rest of my life - and it probably will. With patience and support.

As time goes on you have become more aware of just how much she really doesn't know. Please what ever you do don't let on that you think of her as a person with a learning disability that will devastate her.Some of us learn much slower then others and in most cases didn't have the advantages other kids had in going to private schools. Are you embarrassed to take her around your friends or does she embarrass you at all if she does then she is aware of it because it's something she can feel from you without you even saying a word. I myself was a very slow learner in school and i have been struggling everyday of my life to keep up with things you might found simple. My husband has been helping me everyday for the passed 31 years he founds me to be funny because i say things without really thinking first. I sure hope my husband doesn't look at me the way you look at your wife i couldn't live with that. You married her so that means it wasn’t that important to you at the time.

Try and work it out with her. Talk to her about the problems ou have with it. And she'll understand more where your coming from. Be understanding her whole life. Try and work it out with her.

How would you want her to feel if it was you with the disability??? I'm sure if she had her way.....she would not choose to have this disability. I am also sure that she doesn't mean to frustrate you, she's probably doing the best she can. You are just going to have to except it and be very understanding and very patient.

Just sit tight while she stumbles with her question and answer it when she finally knows what she is asking. You must have known this about her before you married her, why is it upsetting you now?

Not every one thinks well, hon, nor are many able to put together a clear item of concern. Nor to think logically.. That's likely why not everyone is a doctor. No one is perfect, and likely you knew of this difficulty of hers prior to your marriage. And it's still there. No one ever gets better when they function like this..... You ignore it, and concentrate on those things about her that drew you to her.... She sounds like half the people on the site, and likely half the people on this planet.

But I know people that have invested in Fidelity Mutual. They use your money to invest and it fluctuates with the stock market. I had it but I didn't make much to speak of with it.But you had better check with disability if you have money you have to declare that to them! Personally I like CD’s.

Hang in there and you will learn something new. It make you very special too! I was raised with a disabled brother, deaf and could not hear and I will tell you it was the hardest job I ever had in my life was to learn my brother and understand. It took years and now me and my brother rock on and party together. I can understand him and talk with him in sign language. It made me a better person and truly you will overcome with your wife and you will see another side that will light up your life with Angels I promise you. Hang in there and be patient. You are under Gods seige. It takes patience and a very strong minded individual that has this patience to oversee and too care for this person that is disabled.

High interest savings account is nice. ING Direct has a nice one. Not sure, but I've heard there are others out there too. You can buy mutual funds, dividend stocks, index funds or individual stocks outright from many companies. Chose ones with low fees and no loads. Check into Vanguard, Principal and Fidelity. You should probably consult with a legitimate financial planner and figure out what's best for the long term. You're on disability and will probably be getting more social security or something and your money needs to last you the rest of your life. You also need to consider tax consequences on your choices and what you do with your money. Depends on how risky you want to be.
