My ex was much smarter than me. Top of her computer science class as a woman was no mean feat with one of the highest overall grades in the department's history. Jumped straight from B.Sc to Ph.D, skipping the usual masters expectation/requirement (UK). She has a couple of papers published concerning language processing.
We got on well and she helped me through a dreary computer science bachelors course, for which I am very grateful. We went our separate ways afterwards for a variety of reasons (all non-related to the fact that she was smarter than I was).
Though incredibly smart, she had her own failings. We all have.
If you have a self-esteem problem with your girlfriend being smarter than you, then that is your problem. Self-esteem: the key is in the word 'self'. Put another way, if you were smarter than her, do you think that would be a problem for her?
Look to find areas where you can complement your girlfriend. You'll soon realize you have talents where she doesn't and vice versa. Embrace them and her!
