Saturday Listaholic: Partners

As seen on work in progress…, ilaxSTUDIO and ajooja

1. Who is your partner?
My husband, Bret.

2. How long have you been together?
We’ve been a couple for five years in December, married for four as of last August.

3. How long did you date?
We never did, not in the conventional sense. But we lived together for six months before we got married.

4. How old is your partner?
49.

5. Who eats more?
Me, by a long shot. He can go all day without food.

6. Who said “I love you” first?
Bret, way before me.

7. Who is taller?
Bret, by 10 inches.

8. Who sings better?
We’re both good, but his voice is much better.

9. Who is smarter?
Bret is brilliant on certain subjects (like computers, math and science). But his severe dyslexia makes anything to do with words difficult for him. In that area, I’m much more knowledgeable. I also have a much broader range of knowledge than he does because of my avid reading habits.

10. Whose temper is worse?
Mine. Bret’s pretty mellow, unless it’s something to do with AOHell. I once witnessed him reduce an AOL CSR to a sobbing pile of jelly with his righteous wrath. It was like the Voice of God damning you for eternity.

11. Who does the laundry?
Whoever needs something clean.

12. Who takes out the garbage?
He does. We use those big black bags, and it’s too heavy for me to carry.

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
I do. Bret definitely sleeps on the wrong side of the bed.

14. Who pays the bills?
We pay everything online. EVERYTHING. And we share the duty. (I haven’t mailed anything in more than a year!)

15. Who is better with the computer?
Building or repairing, he is. Blowing up things or fragging monsters, he is. For graphic design, blogging or image editing I RULE. He is the Excel King, I am the Queen of Word.

16. Who mows the lawn?
The groundskeeping crew.

17. Who cooks dinner?
We are both excellent cooks, but Bret cooks about twice as often as I do. I clean up the kitchen when he cooks. I also clean up the kitchen when *I* cook.

18. Who drives when you are together?
Bret. My driving terrifies him. I have extremely poor depth perception.

19. Who pays when you go out?
We do.

20. Who is most stubborn?
Me.

21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong?
Bret, although I’m perfectly willing to admit it if I should ever be wrong.

22. Whose parents do you see the most?
Both sets of parents are deceased.

23. Who kissed who first?
It was very, very mutual. And long.

24. Who asked who out?
Well, I asked him to move in with me. Does that count?

25. Who proposed?
Bret did, by cell phone from Georgia while I sat in the FedEx parking lot. When I said yes, he let me open the package my ring was in. Fourteen days later, on Christmas Eve, we finally stood face to face for the first time in 34 years.

26. Who is more sensitive?
Definitely me. Uber-, ultra-, hyper-sensitive. And bipolar, too! Fun times.

27. Who has more friends?
I do. Bret’s pretty selective about who he opens up to. I love everybody.

28. Who has more siblings?
I originally did, but we are equal now. He has two brothers; I have two sisters.

29. Who wears the pants in the family?
Bret does, but he lets me in them whenever I want. ;)
